Cropped slightly, adjusted brightness and contrast.
What did I learn from this challenge: How to change the hue/sat to improve the image.

Not bad for my first entry and using my point and shoot as I didn't have my SLR lens :)
The guy in blue wasn't a dummy, he was actually operating the machine, I'd have liked to have used a slower shutter speed but he was jumping all over the place operating the machine!!
A little surprised by the 1's and 2's though!
Thanks for the pointer on colour saturation, have now just learnt how to use that function in PS :)
