 This is one of my twins playing with the vacuum, their favorite toy! I had intentions of submitting photos of actual toys, but this really gets used more than anything in the toy chest.

In RAW, I made the following changes:
WB: daylight
Exposure: +0.25
Blacks: 31
Brightness: +38
Contrast: +16
Clarity: +100

In Photoshop, I just slightly adjusted the levels and cropped it a little bit.

Children's toy? Looks like child labor to me.
