Hi James!
Quality-check; manual itterative color-balance; sharpened; rotate-R & crop for improving compositional presentation; photo-parameters shifted towards maximisation of digital-data, restoration & slightly more colorful and fresh look of flower; brightness & contrast finalized, checked-ok; signature artwork-frame created.
Notes:
1. Note that I have been able to do this because both image quality & composition of the source-pic were already good. When rotated-R, it's delicate and complex composition is emphasized, now clearly showing.
2. Source pic showed slight image degradation of JPEG data-compression, grid almost visible.
3. orig. file 49K, now 193K
4. Trade-off: loss of detail caused by processing for freshness (leaves); although sat. parameter hasn't been effectively boosted, sat. now appears higher.
5. Composition has improved caused by the fact that the flower now seems to have 5 leaves (was 6) Odd No. more neat. Optical trick: man. CC caused 2 leaves to fuse thru yellow. Color-bal. during process. was off, but after finalizing, a haze was virtualy un-detectable by the computer: I think I got it right.
6. Rotate, Crop & Refresh in this case improves composition & aesthetics, a worthy presentation of this magnificent flower and delicate composition.
The flower looks as if I watered it: it now looks more fresh and erect. The only thing that's still missing here is a signature, like:
