 Photoshop Elements to adjust the color, hue and saturation.

I was unsure if this photo fit the challenge, but I decided to try it anyway after I liked the end product. This was a large six megapixel image that was saved for the web - it was not cropped and enlarged. The problem was saving it for the web, and the fact that I saved the images in JPEG while I made the adjustments instead of TIFF.

Nice idea. The problem here is the image quality: there are lots of artifacts in this shot, detail is lost. I think you used a low jpeg-quality. Try a higher one next time!

Your photo is pixelated, maybe blown up to much. Also dark while the flower is blown out.

I am not sure if there is a problem in resizing here or whether the image is just very out of focus but for me it certainly isn't soft focus (MHO)

It seems to be a small area cropt and enlarged. There is no soft focus and sharpness.
