Hope nobody minds a non-m43 file... I've been in the mode lately of going back through old shots seeing what I can re-do with them etc... I knew from reviewing my original pass from 2018 that this image has potential, so just re-did it some days ago. It took a number of attempts to come up with something I was relatively happy with... Even then I wasn't sure, but got some positive feedback on the result... So with the memory of this processing challenge fresh in my mind, I'm passing the 'pleasure' of this opportunity over to you and looking forward to what you come up with!

I will close this challenge to new entries Wednesday morning August 4th Pacific Standard Time and proceed with my rulings from there.
The Challenge Master provides an image or images to be "improved" upon by way of post-processing, as well as a closing date for entries.
