 Something I found on a shelf in my closet. It's a Winter hat meant to keep my ears warm, but for photo purposes it looks rather pimped out, and maybe a touch Lewis Carroll.

I'm a bit embarrassed that my fingernails look so grubby.

PP is a crop, lots of adjustment levels (mostly hue/sat and selective color), several gallons of Neat Image to smooth out artifacting in the background after some color shifts, and some USM (first applied heavily to full-sized image, then more lightly to resized version - this popped the iris a bit and avoided a lot of haloing around the hat that way).

Very cool, a very artsy photo with 60's high fashion flavour. Technicals are excellent, but it's the creative that really makes this great.
