I was waiting to see if DXO would be more forgiving on my rubbish crop

Tried correcting the perspective but ended up with balloon-like lamps, both in DXO and Photoshop. So gave up on that idea and opted for a heavy crop. Lots of sharpening. Improving coloring with an overlay mask.

Okay, thanks to everyone for entering.

This image is a stinker to colour correct!

Multiple light sources, Disneyfied colours everywhere and very few well lit obvious neutrals. Even the white ticket under Mickey's glove is in a cast shadow.

I liked the closer crops for impact and the highlight recovery in the lampshades.

My 1-2-3

2nd: @RobD #2

Over to you Mr Demey.

Mr Demey goes by his first name "Rik" (no "c" in it). Should say TXS for the no.1 spot, but as always this spot has a stinger: the obligation to host the next DD. Will try to get that one up today.
