 From left to right, thank you to Erin, Jaimie and Heather. My doggie Athena added some spice.

Adjusted color, saturation, contrast, and hue. Auto levels helped a bit, then reduced, sharpened, added the border, then save-for-web. Multiple times, had to readjust highlights, shadows, contrast, brightness, individual colors and I still don't feel 100% on the post processing, but maybe that will help the photo not meet the challenge. HA HA! Last step was back to the RAW PROCESSING program to adjust the white balance, "Click White" and that worked.

Even the dog is laughing. Even though it is a snapshot, I love it.

okay, I think laughing at the challenge counts as not meeting the challenge. Well done. And an additional 2 points for getting the dog to laugh.

Very Monty Python! heheheheheh Love the dog being in the act. Exposure is just a tad harsh for me, but that's just a nit pik. Very nice.
