Hey everyone!

My DH and I had this great interaction with the Queen of Hearts at MK at the Halloween Party. She was quite taken with my DH. I took a picture but it's so dark. I know it's probably a lost cause, but I thought I would see if any of the experts here had some advice. Thanks so much for any help.

just a quick fix. . . .

Here is my try at it...........

Doomed...

Seriously, that picture is pretty bad. Severly underexposed, slightly out of focus and slighty blurrry. I don't think you'll get much better than the one Dan did. You'll just have to go back!!!

If you take the colour out (b&w or sepia-tone it) and reduce the image size so that the noise isn't as noticeable...it *could* be used on a website...it might just be clear enough (it's gotta be a lot smaller than what it is now). You'd never want to print it though.

Here's my attempt. It was fun trying but there really is little to be done.

Thank you all so much for your help. I knew when I took the picture it was a very long shot, but why not? Since you all helped, I'll tell you the story 'cause it's pretty funny.

The DH and I are standing there looking at all the villians doing their meet and greet. The Queen of Hearts comes up behind us (when does that ever happen that you get snuck up on by a character?) Anyway, she is all over DH. She's rubbing his arms and making her hand a little phone to call her and she was pointing at my camera and at them, hence the picture. Then the handler is telling the Queen it's time to go and she won't go. She's holding on to his hand as long as possible.

Now, DH and I are both laughing but not so much for the same reason. My DH is laughing because he thinks it's funny. I'm laughing because I've noticed that the Queen is taller than he is and he's about 6'1. So we're standing there laughing and then DH finally asks what's so funny cause I'm really about crying. And I tell him that I think his new girlfriend may actually be his new boyfriend. His head whipped around so fast I'm amazed he didn't lose it. And she is still waving to him as she is walking back into the castle. And he turns back to me and says, I swear, "Well, I am having REALLy good hair tonight."

If anyone knows that there is a 6'1 woman playing the Queen of Hearts, please don't tell me because I love this story just the way it is.

Thanks again for the help with the picture.

Hey Stenogoddess, are you a reporter?

Yes, I am. I even have the "funny" little machine to prove it.

Has the original pic been taken down? i see a box with an x in it. I was going to take a crack at photoshoping it, but no longer see the original.
