This is one of the most precious photos that my wife has taken of my daughter but was from an older point and shoot. It is a JPEG and I have tried various ways to make this picture the best it could be. Could some one please edit the photo to get this picture ready for print? Any help would be great. Thank you.

No have much to do, you have a strong blow out background and a little be underexposed foreground. my suggestion is trait to remove and add new background and apply a dodge tool to the foreground.

Cute capture :) I just have to ask, was she so exausted she couldnt make it further into the house or what?? There is something peaceful and angelic about her :)

Here is my quick sloppy go at it. The picture does have possibilities as long as you have the time to mess with it :)

Thanks everyone. She fell asleep waiting at the door for her friend to come over for a princess tea party. I wish that I had taken the picture in RAW back then as it would be a lot easier to manipulate. I think that I will go with the black and white version. Happy New Year!

Here is my go at it... Not too much different than the original just cropped a bit and some desaturation.

BTW it is a really cute pic!!!
