Image desaturated, contrast adjusted using curves...A light pass through \"Neat Image\" then softened further using \"Salt and Pepper\" filter in PSP 8.
Finally sharpened and cropped.
Don`t expect to do too well as I know a good few voters dislike this process...but I get satisfaction from the finished pic..so I`ve decided to go with it.
Also the first time I`ve submitted a pic from outside the UK.
