 * The sharpness is fine, but it is in dire need of a levels adjustment imo. Noodle snacks (talk) 04:28, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Would an auto-levels suffice? Muhammad (talk) 09:35, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It'd be a reasonable first step, except it might clip the highlights slightly. You need to get the white balance right, then I'd use curves to adjust the contrast without blowing highlights. Noodle snacks (talk) 09:58, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I would require the raw file to get the white balance right, wouldn't I? Muhammad[[User Talk:Muhammad Mahdi Karim| (talk)
 * It is the easiest way, but its not strictly needed, assuming that the petal is meant to be white just use the grey eyedropper in photoshop curves to get it right. Noodle snacks (talk) 10:34, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. Is it ok? Muhammad (talk) 19:07, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't be sure of the original colours, but the edit looks greyed out and lifeless to me. --jjron (talk) 10:31, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I am not well versed with photoshop adjustments. IMO the original was probably closest to reality. Could either you or NS do the adjustments? Muhammad (talk) 09:53, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I will leave it to NS since he knows what he's looking for. I'm not so sure what he's thinking, I guess it comes up a little dull and perhaps a bit over green, but I don't mind the colouring. I had a little play and got some more pop out of it, but didn't really end up with anything I thought was that much of an improvement. --jjron (talk) 16:21, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Added an edit, might be slightly too much, i'll let you decide. The white balance also seems to vary across the flower. Noodle snacks (talk) 00:48, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * IMO the edit is quite an improvement. If you guys think it has a decent chance at FPC, I am willing to go with the edit. Did you sharpen the image as well? --Muhammad (talk) 06:43, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd see how you go, and I think I did, but I can't remember as it was last week. Noodle snacks (talk) 12:20, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Aye, in need of a contrast adjustment with curves. Noodle snacks (talk) 11:06, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
