Well this photo marks my best effort to date... I have no idea if it will be my best score...
From camera:
- Clone out minor imperfections
- Desat background somewhat
- Colorbalance
- Sharpen
- Adjust contrast
.........
Post-Challenge: Thanks to all who voted for giving me a new personal high score. There were a lot of good entries in this challenge.
Additional comments-- both the lab coat and stethescope were "props" for this shot: I use neither during my actual work week. However, I took a number of shots without them, and these images didn't communicate the professionalism or idea of "medicine" as well as the one I finally entered.

I like the idea..very creative. The processing and technicals are also good. Are you holding a lightbulb between your teeth??? :-)
Actually had a flourescent lamp plugged into the wall behind me, and hanging down if front of my face... it was covered pretty well with the Radiograph. Also ended up using a wet napkin to diffuse the light.
Nice idea; well composed. The lighting of the x-ray itself works well, but (a very small point) it's a shame it spills out into lighting the human subject as well.
Good idea and setup, complete with good lighting and accessories. It meets the challenge nicely, and it's very striking - brought me back for another look.
Nice idea. The shot lacks something. Perhaps a bright color background would punch it up, and it might help to eliminate the shadow on the wall. Looks like the lighting was tricky. You must have used a head lamp to backlight the x-ray.
Very creative. I can see how you needed to place the sthetoscope in the picture to make the subject a doctor, even when radiologists almost never use one.
Not just the eyes of medicine... it has replaced the physical exam. BTW, who does skull plainfilms anymore anyways? (looks fairly normal to me at this resolution, other than the incidental of the left frontal sinus not being pneumatized)
