 Too bad about the background - it was a big white tent... I'm sure I'll get dinged a point or so for that.

PP was fairly simple: tweaked in DPP, then in CS 2 I did a very slight rotation and minor crop, then sharpened, a slight NI pass, then levels, brightness/contrast and hue sat adjustments (to reduce red slightly), resized, another slight USM pass, and saved for the web.

Nice action shot. Perhaps just a hair too fast on the shutter...half of her face is behind the bar.
