It is with much regret that I must notify SC that I have entered the wrong version into this contest and having done so have broken the rules of basic editing.
I want to thank all that voted and placed me here - too bad I'm an idiot and entered the wrong one:-(( I'm pretty bummed out but can't changed the fact I made a stupid mistake.
Again, thanks for your votes and sorry to dissappoint. The other version that falls within the rules is very nearly the same as this :-((

Thanks PapaBob:-) It's not my first and it definitely won't be my last mistake LOL Hopefully there'll be quite a bit of time to the next one here though!!
Thanks Jewels. That's what happens when you enter too many contests/challenges/assignments on the same day with the same image:-(( I had the "valid" entry all ready and done up and the editing steps on a sticky note on my Mac - I just noticed after the voting closed which steps of editing I entered and realized (obviously way too late) what I had done - wrong image uploaded with invalid basic editing steps to match. I'm pretty bummed out about it but what can ya do - just a stupid careless mistake. What's the real bummer is the valid one is as good with just a very slight difference as I didn't use the multiply on a duplicate layer of the image but insteadit used a double curve adjustment layer and lowered the opacity of the second one:-(( Live and learn - I just have to be WAY MORE CAREFUL!!!!
