 Tweaked in DPP, then in CS2, I used just a touch of shadow highlight to bring out some detail, then a sharpen pass and a NI pass, then a bit of hue/sat to pop the yellows, the resze, another minor USM pass, and saved for the web.

I'm torn on whether this is leading lines or not, but it's a nice photo. I'll probably be back to decide on a final score for this later.
