I expect this to be a low score because I chose to saturate the color, definitely not a usual Ben thing to do (I think he considers color to be a distraction). But I considered what I perceive Ben's overall philosophy to be about: affect the viewer, move them to think about the image and above all, be true to yourself and in his words "don't spoon feed the voters".
I love color and the more is better. This rendition was true to me and probably not Ben, but that's quite the catch 22 and I chose my view in the end.
converted from raw in ps elements
usm sharpened
levels
saturated (quite a bit!)
no cropping
sized and ran thru neat image for noise reduction and saved for dpc
