For DP Challenge, the advanced editing challenge for this week is "Games". Instantly this sort of image came to mind. Yes that is me geared up. I was thinking more of that feeling of loss after a game 7 (like Calgary recently underwent) but as I shot it lost that sense of melancholy.

- Duplicated layer (X 2)
- On layer marked "Clarify" Channel mixer (100% red)

- Cropped
- USM
- Export to JPG
