What can I do to fix this photo?(pic included)?

Question

So I took this photo but its out of focus and tha background is really distracting, etc. Is there anything I can do to salvage this photo? or do I just need to take it again?

Answer 1

Ya....just try to re-shoot it. There's not much you can do about the blurriness. Also, the key is too close to the edge and some of it is cut off. Clever idea :)

Answer 2

This is a candidate for a re shoot I'm afraid.

Clean the outside of the window

Stop down your aperture to reduce Depth of Field, DOH!!! I mean open up wider...not stop down, gotta get some coffee...

Focus carefully on the key, and spot meter the key itself so as not to render it as a silhouette

Answer 3

It is a good "idea" shot, but to make it work, you will have to focus on the key (you may need to invest in a macro lens) and as stated, clean the window first and maybe even move the key to compose the out of focus background so it enhances the images composition.
