  Magnificent, and more so because of your brilliant background enhancement. Wonderfully accomplished. This could NOT have been easy--or else it was so easy that we wouldn't believe it.

  Beautiful, Mike. I love the way the sapphire blue works with the emerald green - jewel tones for sure.

  Thanks for the comments! This was actually easier than one would think. When I used the auto color function in PS, the background color changed to a somewhat purple color. I just changed the hue to more of a blue color. I also did some straightening, cropping, sharpening and worked with the lighting a bit.
