I have a gentleman purchasing a photo from me.

I took pictures at a senior olympic tourney and made it clear I was relitively new to it all and that the photos may not be great. I was very happy with the actuall pictures, but I'm afraid they may not print well.

He is purchasing this photo in an 11x14 format.

Anyone know if it'll come out okay? I uploaded it at 768x1152 302px/inc

Thanks for your help

(if the photo dosn't come out all that well, I will attach it when I get home)

I'd guess that, even if it doesn't look great to you, he's going to love it? ;)
Some selective sharpening & a touch more contrast & it should print OK.

Ever used a Layer Mask?

This isn't as good as using two different exposures, but an Adjustment Layer & Layer Mask is easily reversible. Give it a try on an old shot:
