Challenge: Pink IV (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D80
Location: (Home art room) Spring, TX
Date: Oct 7, 2013
Aperture: 9.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/20

 This is a pink loofah. I took a table lamp and inverted the shade so that the light was shining up. I placed a piece of glass over the shade to hold the loofah up. This kept it from melting.

I adjusted the contrast, blacks, and hue and saturation in RAW. I also cropped the image.

Imported the image to CS3.
Adjusted the color balance (cyan and magenta) on the midtones and highlights. I also used an unsharp mask to bring out the details. Set at 40% with a radius of 2 or 3. Threshold = 0.

I think there's another shot of this meshlike substance in the challenge. Still don't know what it is. Kinda odd looking!

How photogenic can one of those scrub-things be? :)
Even gives a cosy feeling

Voted earlier coming back to comment.

The hot pink is very bold and attention grabbing. The element that needs a little TLC is the contrasts. I think if the lines of the veiled fabric were darker and more contrasty with the pink it would really pop off the page visually. I think some levels and curves possibly could get more darker hues in the fabric to get that look.
