Hi everyone,

I'm vree and I only seem to be good at making signatures that are so so.
And I use fireworks for it because that's what they used at school to make websites.

I tried to make a lousy cellphone picture look good using fireworks. But I just can't make it look kinda nice.

So now I was wondering if someone could make it look nicer. I know it's crappy to begin with. But if only it could look less pixelated and more sharp it would be nice. It doesn't really matter if it's sized down.

It's a picture of us swimming for the first time together after 5 years.
So yea I hope you guys can help me out here ; ).

Thanks to everyone who wants to give it a shot. =D
 
Sorry I don't see an edit button.
I also got this second picture that didn't use digital zoom, but everything looks small.
I don't know if this can help, but I'll post it.

Maybe this will help you. Used some filters from Nik and Topaz. Its now a 7"x5" print size 100ppi.

I suggest concentrating on the three people eliminating a lot of background, blur it out and it will help them look Much clearer or sharper in this case show what you want to see, blur out what interferes with the focus area I would do it but not on computer,somebody could throw that together real quick. Select the subjects with an oval shape feather it with about 35px. Depending on size of oval, Inverse it blur it. dramatically.... I would use Gaussian blur . Just a thought:cheesygrin:
 
That'll work, it puts more focus on the 3.:thumbsup:
 
My point exactly iDAD, not gone for realism or anything just throwing a bone in the air (so to speak):mrgreen:
 
How many times do I have to tell you... No bone throwing, ya gonna hurt someone!
 
I got that! I may have gone a can of strong blur... :P

Here's my try. One of the more difficult images I've ever worked with haha.

I just played around with it a bit and sharpened things up as much as possible.
