I think you might have over processed it, what are those red dots on the right?

Part of the flower color maybe sir, I thought of that too (overused sharpen too much). I posted the link of the raw photo, it looks foggy. Can you teach me what to do?

Nice job on the focus on the waterdrops though. They are nice and sharp.

IMHO, it looks a bit over-sharpened, and the original isn't bad at all. That's just my unprofessional opinion. Maybe there's a middle ground between the two?
