Converted From RAW, Cropped Sharpened adjusted the vignetting, Boosted Vibrance and Contrast, Opened in CS4, Used adjustment layers for Curves and Levels, Did a bit of selective desat on the background and a little dodge and burn in bright spots a little cloning to touch up a couple of minor distractions. Resized sharpened again and saved for web.
Thanks for the votes and comments.

Good idea to desat to remove some of the background clutter, but inevitably hard to get rid of all of it and those straight lines still make the background a little 'busy'
