Is anybody else suspicious that Cindi won the challenge wherein she submitted the shot? =)
At 12 entries, 228 total votes, and 550 views, this challenge has been our biggest thus far. However, the site is growing daily as more DPC users find PPC. So invite your friends to play along!
Cheers,

Actually, Cindi, you didn't put any post processing steps in the description. =P
I want to know, as I'm sure others do, how you got the carnival worker so sharp. Please do tell!
Sorry, that was laziness. The steps were many, but for sharpening I used Smart Sharpen once at full-size (fairly hard) and Sharpen faded back 30% (fairly soft) once at web size. About the same as I do for most DPC challenges. The thing that made mine look sharper was that I focused all of the sharpness and the brightness on the guy and let everything else go dark (vigenette). Choosing one COI worked better since HE was the main subject, the rest was just fluff - IMHO.
