Default Pink flower

Ok I was bored and was playing around with CS3. I took this original;

flower

Then I saturated, played around with the color levels, curves, then went into filters/artistic/neon glow and got this. I really like it I just wish I was able to sharpen it up some more. Please tell me what you think of this.

To be honest, you've lost the detail in your flower and the selective coloring in this particular photo really doesnt seem to work for me. I might ry lassoing the object you want to change colors and do a color change. I dont know about Phot shop but Paint Shop I use the change to target tool. That way you dont lose your detail
