Photo clean up help?!?

[lilgreenjeepyj]

Ok, this seems to be the family favorite of our new baby. The composition seems to work, but the DOF was a bit lacking and the focus was a touch off. :o

Any suggestions on how I could possibly clean it up to get it more or less printable? Im shooting for something family worthy, not gallery worthy.:P

Critique away, you won't hurt my feelings, but sadly the moment to recompose is long gone so Ive got to work with this shot.

Anyone else??

Here's one. Rather than try to fight the focus and depth of field problems, I used a little blur to soften the whole image, along with a little color tweaking.

Here's one with just a plain old sharpening filter and a little spot airbrush.

OK, last one, I promise... Added a little fake sunlight, dimmed the image to give it a sleepy feel, kept the blur.

I like that sun one, nice touch.
