 Applied levels, curves, brightness, hue adjustments, unsharp mask, cropped, flipped 180 degrees then sized for the web. When I flipped this 180 degrees there became a optical illusion that the board the puzzle was on became pieces themselves sitting on top of the puzzle.

I think I am seeing the picture upside down. If this is an accident then the image correctly oriented is nice, but I would like to see a closer image of the puzzle lines. If the image was intended to be oriented this way, then I think that the disorientation produced by the angle doesn'e fit the subject of the puzzle. A darker, possibly sinister image on the puzzle would have worked well with the unusual angle.

I like the interesting perspective and angle on this shot. Nice colors, although there is a bit of a glare. Unusual and creative entry.
