OK. I'll bite. What can you do with this image hosted on flickr.com?



I took this picture about ten years ago with a film camera. Had an 8x10 print made. Recently I scanned that 8x10 print on a crappy flatbed scanner. Can you make this into a nice image? Get rid of the flatbed scanner artifacts. Screw around with the brightness contrast, etc. to make it jump out at you a little more?

Unfortunately the sun was a little higher in the sky than I wanted when I took the picture and the lighting is a little flat. But I like the subject and composition.

Edit: I see the flickr image isn't as large as my original. It's big, but mine is bigger. I can e-mail you a 3 or 4 MB file of the original if you like.

Thanks. And if you don't feel like doing this, then no worries.

What can you do to make this pretty? Oh, and there are a few scratches and places where the picture frame abraded the surface. Maybe you can see if you can clean those up too.
