Aperture: 18.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/250

 Totally wild entry...no doubt this will bomb severely. But I'm actually quite infatuated with this guy. Don't know why considering it's so off the shelf for me.

Processing:
- Import into LR3
- Play with Exposure/Contrast/Clarity/Sharpness sliders
- Adjust Levels to bring down highlights and enhance blacks
- Export to SEP
- Select Push Process (N +1.5)
- Export to CEP
- Select Classical Soft Focus preset
- Select Image Border
- Select Solarization
- Back into LR3
- Adjust Contrast/Clarity
- Save for Web

If this beats 5.5, I will be most surprised.

Post-Challenge: Wow, a TT with a 6.5. Shows I have no idea about DPC voting anymore! Thanks everyone for the great comments!

Excellent shot Garry. Congrats on the Top Ten finish. I don't know why you were surprised as I (and most others) saw brilliance in this image. I didn't know we were so close but I'm glad you won as I actually thought this would be one of the ribbon winners.

Artsy and fun! I think the literal voters will want more detail in the glasses.

Not very keen on the border, but in every other aspect the photo works for me - unusually so for a set up shot.
