This was shot five years ago. I just got around to it.
The first is the original, a screenshot, the second is after post-processing.
I had to do a ton of clean-up, spider web, some filter issue.

I don't see any aspect of the flower in sharp focus. Therefore, I don't see a justification of spending any time editing around the edges of an out of focus subject. The colors are nice, just the missing details that suffer. Alas, the colorspace is not sRGB, so what you intended in the color tone is lost / unknown when viewed by others.

That is why there is a download...
Focus issue... It is on focus, BUT there is a bit of camera motion. If you DL the screenshot, you will see hairs and spiderweb strands.

If the 'before' was in better focus, then I'd be concerned about my workflow. I never bother with screenshots. Never.

It is still in focus (with the camera motion).
The darkness or somber mood is what creates the illusion of losing focus.
I missed two web strands in the center of the image...
Since I will be at it, I will try to correct the camera motion blur...

It seems we'll agree to disagree on whether this 'salvage' of a throwaway image is a success or waste of time ...

Actually, it is a good exercise.
I did not find that removing the motion did anything positive so I'll leave it as that.
I will print a small version of this before deciding if I should go bigger. My instinct is go bigger...

What you dont see is bedide the point, given the narrow limits of your "vision".
His posted versions are, as you stated, not sharp. But without any AI assisted editor, in using only what my in-phone editor can do with his thumbnail (cant capture the DL), its clear that the image has enuf detail to wotk with and improve to a more than acceptable sharpness. A sample of detail is seen below.
