The photo was taken through a store window in a shopping mall. I used ISO 400 without flash. With Photoshop, I adjusted the level, brightness and contrast and also adjusted the hue/saturation. I also used Neat Image to remove as much noise as possible.

Congrats on your brown ribbon! I realize this was not an intentional brown effort, but there is some bizarre pride in last place. You can feel part of a special club now. Here's my brownie.
There's a lot of high ISO noise, or grainy artifacts of some kind showing here, and hurting the detail. Not sure what to suggest. This was clearly a shot of opportunity and I don't know what else could have been done for it, other than some noise removal in post processing.
