This photo was taken at the Krohn Conservatory in Cincinnati, OH of a man pruning the bonsai collection. I liked the texture and I tried to accentuate it by stressing the contrast in the photo. I'm not sure if it is my absolute best photo of the year, but I like it and I hope some of you do to.
Curves, levels, selective color, channel mixer, crop, I think that was it.

I personally think this would have been a stronger photo if you had gotten in closer for the shoot, and isolated the hands doing the work mre. The business of the rest of the photo distracts from your subject, and the high contrast (with too much of the window showing), does it no real favors.
