It is certainly NOT crappy and can be salvaged. First thing you'll need to do is turn on "Image Editing OK" and/or provide a link to the original image file.

IMHO, it's not a good candidate for the vintage look.

It's badly out of focus. Hiding that with grain is a good idea. But personally unless it was irreplaceable, I'd delete it.

Yeah, but maybe it's the only photo of this subject taken on some memorable occasion. As a parent of four kids, now grown, I wouldn't delete it at all. It would print acceptably at 4x6.

You'll still want to enable "Image Editing OK".

I hope you don't mind but here is my edit of your photo. The first is trying to improve the original and the second is a try at a vintage look.

Well, since he specifically asks for an edit, I'd say it's okay to post one.

To set "image editing OK":

Despite asking for edits and getting plenty of them, the OP can't be bothered to edit their profile. The "this turned out crappy" let's do a "treatment" is one of my pet peeves. (walks off grumbling)
