For those of you who followed the thread on my wedding photos you know that 1) my photog left a bit to be desired 2) Andy, Smugmug, and the Dgrin community are awesome.
Thanks to Andy's work and the help of other dgrinners I have a gallery of almost 100 pictures that I think will make fine prints. I now only have 5 pictures left that I think need careful photoshop work that is beyond my ability.
Four of the five have the same problem (not the photogs fault) - my mother refused to look at the camera or had her eyes closed (is this a trick Oprah teaches?). I've tried cutting her eyes from other pictures and blending them in - but my results look more like Frankenstein than mom. Can anyone help with those?
The other one, of my father and I, is terribly washed out. Can it be saved in any way (including B&W)?
Here's the gallery with the 5 left to fix:

And here's the gallery of the already color corrected images (originals available) in case you need to cut/eye dropper anything from them.

I'm not sure if anything can be done with them - but you guys haven't failed to surprise me yet! And don't worry - I'm still trying them myself multiple times a day. There's something slightly (bizzare?) theraputic about making your mom look like Frankenstein!
