This is my first submission for the assignments - if I didn't do something right please let me know. Also want to thank Sime for posting the links. I don't think I would have played with the channel mixer settings so aggressively otherwise.
I cropped the picture down to the eyes, increased highlights, decreased shadows. Used channel mixer to change to black and white - increased the blue intensity to almost max. (PSE doesn't display in % - I don't think)
