Tweaked in DPP, then in PS 2, I used shadow/highlight, then levels, hue/sat and B/C. I did a USM pass, then adjusted the black and red tones using selective color. Adjusted image size, and saved for the web.

I wish I could clone out those spots on the mirror - I'm sure then will hurt my score. I expect 3 or 4 comments to point them out.

Ha - I also just noticed when looking at the shot info to populate the App/ISO/Speed boxes that I had accidently left the exposure compensation to -2/3, from my "money" entry last week. Ooops....

oversharpened. Great idea though.

This one really made me chuckle, with the help of the title. The specks on the mirror bother me a little bit. The blue colour looks fantastic.

Was he fighting with his reflection, or is this all about the peanuts?

I'm not aure about the angle here, or perhaps that the mirror isn't standing quite upright enough, it looks slightly awkward is all. I'd like to see this cropped in quite close as I think you could create something quite surreal.
