It's
easy to loftily advise someone to "go take a better picture".
In the real world, that luxury isn't always possible. There
will be plenty of times when we have to do the best we can "with
what we've got". Forego the whining, stop the
panicking, and just get busy making-do,with whatever piece of
crap is currently in our hands.

marketing. |

To liven things
up a bit more, the layer was duplicated using the OVERLAY blend
mode, and then kissed with an Unsharp Mask to crisp up its fuzzy
edges. |
Lame realtor
shot that only had one thing going for it. The general composition,
where the cottage is sweetly nestled in the woods with its fairy
tale feel? That was played up. |

Saturation Up repaints life back into the trees and flowers.
Unsharp Mask was also employed to crisp up some fuzz. |

Some ability to
provide a few extra details is often a plus. Okay, maybe not
always, but usually. <grin> |
Photo enhancing tools can make short business
of dark shadowy fuzzy shots. |
