That's settled then. Anybody else?

this may turn into a competition of photoshop skill rather than photography. also i think the comp title should be 'photo editing competition' or closer to that.

Which is why I've restricted it to minor adjustments only - nothing you need "skill" for. And "Photo editing" is plain chopping, which isn't really what this is completely about.
