Thanks to everyone who left me comments. I wanted to quickly explain the "M"... A lot of people suggested this looked more like a W (or a sigma? hmm...), but when I first saw it I was walking from the right side of the frame so it looked like an M to me then and it just got stuck in my mind that way.
You tell a good story. On my monitor _ you could pull some blue and majenta out of the highlight to get the highlights and perk the color. It definately meets the challenge.
