help! Can someone fix an old picture for a mother's day gift?

[aktse]

I will be using this as a gift for my mom and it's her favorite picture. I have a copy of it, and it's about 28 years old... I did the best that I could with a scan job. Can some kind soul take a few minutes and play around with it? Feel free to crop it, etc.

I'm the one on the right and my sister is the one without any shoes!

My sister and I will probably use the fixed photos for years. My current project is turn it into a quilt, pillow or throw.

Thank you!

Curious - there appears to be handprints on the image. Is this on the actual photo or did someone leave handprints on the scanner's glass? Can you remove the handprints from the picture or the scanner and repost?

Thanks. I cleaned the scanned and rescanned. The photo in the original post has been updated.

How's this? (I just used the techniques in the tutes right here on dgrin (http://dgrin.smugmug.com/gallery/2292454/1), nothing too special)

Edit:
just realized you gave us an original and I just used the Large. Doh! If one of the "pros" around here can't do better, I can redo this with the O, or walk you through it pretty quickly.
