I should have been more clear in my original post. I'm a photographer, not a magician.

I could run noise removal on that shot 'till kingdom come and it would still be grainy after lightening the shadows.

its not going to be used at any size anywhere near larger than is displayed on the forum

but its ok

Unfortunately, being so out of focus and having all the important parts in shadow, it's a losing battle.

Would you accept a challenge from a noob? If I said please?

It's my favourite pic of me and my best friend and it's the last we had together before life's ways set us apart! (And this is NOT a heartbreaking story I'm making up so that I would convince you)

At the time of the photo she already had a few drinks so her face had turned a bit red. And the faces behind us are really annoying, could be something done with it. If it's not a huge time wasting for you, I would really appreciate it!

Knowing a little of your heritage, I thought an olive tone to your skin might be approiate....

I've been hoping my assumption that you are on the left (without the drink) was correct. Both young ladies are quite beautiful.

I might consider less sharpening than I did.....maybe a slight blur.

In Lab color, the following edit took two steps and just about exactly 10 seconds. The first step simultaneously added more skin color and brought out richness of the greens in the background. The second mildly increased density in the shadows.
