Can this photo be saved?

[F, Calla & Luca]

This can be an ongoing discussion if folks want it to be. at any rate, sometimes you get a picture you would love to keep but it is seriously flawed. Maybe an editing guru can help. This discusssion came about because Luca was so entranced by something that he actuall climbed into the crotch of a maple tree today to try to get to it. sadly my lens filter was smeared and this photo, also shot into the sun , looks like this.

Oh so cute! Unfortunately I have many photos that are "seriously flawed" ..Lol!

UGH!   What a missed opportunity.   I'm sorry, F.

Well, this is more work than my tired mind can handle. I did work with it some and ... well I want to turn it into a colored pencil drawing or black and white.

I'm trying too but I think only a magician will do : )

So sweet, that tongue is so cute sticking out

[Sheila & Finnley]

It is so cute. There just might be a magician in the group. Remain optimistic!

I hate when this happens. Such a cute shot. Go back and dangle a groundhog over that spot and see if you can get him to do it again :)

I was sure you would pipe in with sows ears : ) I just feel like I could peel a layer off.

Here is my edit, not perfect but hopefully improved?

[DJ & Chance]

I am amazed that you got that much sharpness in the face through the haze.  

[F, Calla & Luca]

Much improved indeed. Thank you magician. Maybe now that you accomplished the important parts I can fool around some more.

[F, Calla & Luca]

Me too.
