Photo Editing Challenge

As you know, I've been having fun playing around with my photos lately.  This week's edit challenge on My Reflection of Something is this photo:

Yes!  This is what I was looking for!  I had fun with this edit.  I must say, these challenges over at My Reflection of Something are a fun way to increase my knowledge of Photoshop!   (I hope all you sewers find this interesting! )
