crop, resize, curves, channel mixer to b/w, painted some colors back in using a separate layer on multiply mode.
post-challenge: I fulfilled 3 "punishments" with this photo: a fork, a smiley-face, and a hand-made sculpture.
for those who didn't see a long exposure connection, I did some painting with light to make the drawn sun look like it was shining. The background is a posthumous magic marker drawing.

I'm giving you a high score just becaue you squeezed both necessary items into your shot. Long exposure? Probably not - at least not in a noticable way, but way to go in probably taking a beating to fulfill your commitments. Well done.
