EMERGENCY EDITING HELP NEEDED FOR CAFE MEMBER

[dburanich]

Many of you have known me for several years here.
Photo editing is not one of my strong points.
My older brother passed away this evening and I am in the process of making funeral arrangements.
I have a recent photo of him that was taken by a friend of his using a smartphone.
The photo is at an odd angle and he has a drink in his hand.
I am hoping some of the artists here might be able to help me and correct the angle to something more favorable and remove the drink from his hand.
It was my intent to use this photo in his local newspaper obituary.
All help is appreciated.

I have removed the lights in the ceiling and the reflection, fixed color balance, enlarged it so you have plenty of pixels, and done a bit of tidying up.

Thank you so much everyone.

Just wanted to express my gratitude to all of you for helping with this endeavor and helping so quickly when time mattered. This is just one of the great things that happen on The Nikon Cafe.
At the time when I was notified of the news I was still kind of in shock. Definitely not thinking very clearly. My brother, to me went fairly quickly and really not much time to expect it so soon and prepare for it. He was diagnosed in June and we lost him just a few weeks ago, Nov. 1. Having only a few months to process the diagnosis, when it happens as quickly as it did, your body and mind are just not quite prepared. Again, Thank You to all.
