I mentioned that it was getting dark enough, as we walked on the 29th, that sharp pics were much harder than usual for the camera to achieve.
Here's an original. Definitely kinda blurry.

Here it is cropped, with the saturation of the red tulips raised a bit. (enhance/color/adjust hue, choose "reds" from the color menu [the default is "master," which works on all the color] and push the "saturation" slider)

One of the possibilities, when you're not happy with something, is to exaggerate it. Make it look like you meant it to be that way.
Part of your flower is outside the image? Cut off more, emphasizing a petal, or the center, or a bug, or?
Your pic is blurry? Work it over with one of the filters that obscure edges even more......
Palette-knifed (filters/artistic/palette knife).

Now, just because we can, let's poster edge on top of the palette knifing.

This, I like.................

As do I. :) I didn't even see the tulips in the first photo!
Thanks!
I find that a lot of the filters (poster-edge, fresco, water color) add a lot of dark to the pic.
I often give the color a boost before using them.
I liked the red, and it seemed to be getting lost, so.....
:-)
I've got a sharper original of this same garden coming up. The tulips are more visible in that one.
