 WOW! This did so much better than I ever dreamed it would do. Thanks for all the votes and comments. This started out more of a study of editing in RAW and what I could achieve before opening it up in CS2.

All adjustments performed in RAW except for a small curves and Neat-Image

Look at that score, Dave! CONGRATULATIONS! I personally thought yours and Lesley's should have tied for blue! But top 10 in a challenge like this is something to be really proud of!!!

I was one of your 12 10's, and this photo will always be one of my top favorites!
