Here's two suggestions:
Recropped, slight contrast adjustment 
Same as the other with "border" added (see details on photo) 
At the risk of profaning the dead, I'd title it Princess Grace? |

See if this came out any differently ... I didn't do much to it though. It looked like the original was pretty noisy, especially in the sky area, which is surprising given the settings used. Olympus cameras have a setting to turn the sharpening off; you might try that, since the original looked possibly oversharpened already. |

Looks like you've already done a good job on it, apart from the hotspots.
Come on, let's have some people who want makeovers who AREN'T so proficient with Photoshop! |

see if what came out any differntly? Where should I look?
I found the photo and I do think yours looks better but I can not tell either is oversharpened the original or the one I posted. How do you tell. What do you look for? And I could not find anything about turning off the sharpening in my Olympic Manual. I checked the index and found nothing about it.

Done using Photoshop 5LE, mostly using non-dpc legal techniques.
Adjustment layers for color changes, some selective editing to blur
noise. Overlay layers used, with gaussian blur to change the contrast
a touch. Some curves, some levels, some saturation adjustments. Did
some spot editing to the grey background to clean it up a touch. Plenty more could be done but did this in a few minutes.

I really like the result of the fixed frog.
However it is no longer a single photograph. Hence, is certainly not what I would consider an example of good photographic post editing. Its good digital art or something, but it isn't a single photograph any more.
The various edits on the apples are more in line with what I would like to see being considered legal. For example, my edit used about 5 techniques that would require it to be dq'ed, yet doesn't look like something cut and pasted from several other shots. |

| Gordon, I sincerely hope that my irreverent, comical union of two otherwise excellent photos was not considered by anyone else as serious post-editing! ; ) |

Actually, I think it is what a lot of people consider 'serious post-editing' to be - just read any of the many forum posts against the idea |

Sorry, I got distracted and forgot to put in the thumbnail: 
On the original, zoom in close on those branches/grasses in the foregrund where they rise in front of the water. See if you don't see some haloing (light outlines around the darker parts). That's what over-sharpening typically looks like.
I have some examples in this gallery at pBase.
Your camera has 3 Sharpness settings: Hard, Normal, Soft. See page 152 of the manual. If you don't have it, you can download it from //www.olympusamerica.com/files/C2100_Manual_English.pdf |
