photography help!

I have this really cute picture of my son giving me a kiss, but the flash is reflecting off the sides of our faces. Is there anyway to post edit this picture or is it just a deleter? I hope there is some way to save it. I thought maybe someone might know a trick. Thanks :)

I am using PSE6.

Can you post the picture?

I'm not sure if you can edit the reflection out, but you might be able to tone it down. Can you post the pic?

Ok, here is my pic...

I tried playing with it, but it's too blown out. There's no detail to try and grab on your faces.

Try doing something totally wacky with it though, for a totally different look. I duplicated the background layer and then set that mode to color burn and it had a funky cool look to it.

Thanks so much for the help. I will play with it and see if I can get something to work. I appreciate the help.

Yeah, it's probably too far gone to fix. The camera has only recorded white pixels in those areas -- so there's no data from the details of your faces to recover. I agree with Col, though, that it would probably be great with a funky photo effect! And you could minimize all the blow outs but cropping in real tight on just the faces where you are kissing.
