Editing: Rotate, Crop, levels, saturation, contrast, select eyes and needle with paintbrush - increase sat and redo levels on just these; inverse selection for noise removal, resize, unsharp mask, dodge needle, mouth and nose, use sharpen tool on same, save for web.
Stuffed animals usually don't do well in the scoring but I'm going to enter this anyway as I really like it. It was the first idea that popped into my head when this challenge was announced. I searched all over to get just the right teddy bear and then cut it's nose and mouth off so I could sew on another one!
