Fixing blurryness

[mknabster]

My newspaper editor really would like this picture to go one my collage page, but it is pretty blurry, from motion blur. I did what i could w/ the unsharp mask, but is there anything else that can be done to it? Here;s the link: http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1JZPTPN9zSzIbW6RjaiG8G70gt2KjT

I am so sorry - I don't think there is much that can be done with it. :(

This one really is a tough one. Here's what I came up with.

I decided to hide some of the blurriness by putting a gaussian blur on the background, and not on the main players. I also blurred the ref. The first player is the one most in focus and the other two look fine blurred as they are in action. I think it's probably the best you will get from this picture.

When you post to pixentral, try and make the longest side less than 800 Pixels. That way we can see it full screen and it's easier to help. Good luck. Getting good sports pictures is tough. My daughter plays basketball, so I know what you're up against. At least you have the good lighting rather than the gym lighting which I am constantly fighting with!
