I also feel that its a bit underexpose.. did you try 'rescuing' it using PhotoShop?

I tried to rescue it ( sorry, prior to your permission).. do you think that it looks better?

I used Levels and Curves and did a little sharpening.... I did not opt for the 'Auto' option on both, just adjusted it manually.

Hmm... Here is the actual defination fopr curves and Levels....

The Levels dialog box lets you correct the tonal range and color balance of an image by adjusting intensity levels of the image's shadows, midtones, and highlights. The Levels histogram serves as a visual guide for adjusting the image's key tones.

Like the Levels dialog box, the Curves dialog box lets you adjust the entire tonal range of an image. But instead of making adjustments using only three variables (highlights, shadows, midtones), with Curves you can adjust any point along a 0-255 scale while keeping up to 15 other values constant. You can also use Curves to make precise adjustments to individual color channels in an image.

You can find it in Image > Adjust > Curves/ levels

Happy experimenting...

real flowers could have frayed edges too....

i have a query... why is the flower underexposed?

Any 10+ year old camera (i have one

) when set on program mode should be able to give you the correct exposure. I would have thought that modern digi-cams should be able to give you the correct exposure and all you have to do is concentrate on composition?
