 I took this shot for my photo of the day (365 project), but figured with a little cropping it could work fine in this challenge as well. It's not super flashy, but at least it's not yet another face that I'm sure we will see a lot of this this challenge.

Post Processing:
* Straighten
* Increase Exposure
* Chromatic Aberration
* Topaz DeNoise
* Topaz Adjust to really make the colors pop
* Topaz Detail
* Crop
* Increase Black Point
* Increase Definition
* Increase Saturation
* S-curve
* A bit of increase background blurring
* Export as TIFF
* Resize to 800 px
* Sharpen Edges
* Save as JPEG

Thank you all for the extremely nice comments. I'm surprised to see the score so "low" with such high comments. But that's ok, you guys made it worth it :)
