You'd think William Tell would be better off with wooden arrows. Hide your apples!

Comment by armin:
Thanks to everybody for fine comments.
The workflow from to the one submitted inlcuded:
1) Fairly heavy NoiseNinja because my P&S is pretty noisy at ISO200.
2) Curves to increase mid-tone contrast.
3) Slight overall saturation in Hues
4) Extra boost to the Reds in Hues to bring out the colour of the dress
5) Burn around the edges of the image and the headdress
6) Dodge arround the face
5) Crop, resize, USM & SFW

Like others have said I can't believe this didn't score higher. This is exquisite. Like a painting but yet so real. The coloring is perfect for the setting. This is art!
