Man, this is a great image, John!

I wanted to move the "butcher" off center but thought that the meat scale was a crucial element to the story. When I cropped the image I made sure the full scale was in the crop and tried to eliminate that green plastic thingy. Like Dave, I liked the colors in the image - though a desaturated background would probably get the girl to stand out better.

Actual steps:

1. Used the lasso to select her face, neck, and the shadowed portion of her shirt
2. Shadow/Highlight: 30% Shadow / 0% Highlight to cut down the shadow on her face
3. Levels: 25 / 1.00 / 246 to add a little punch
4. Crop and resample to 700x467@100dpi (for web)
5. Virtual Photographer: Snap filter (more punch)
6. Smart Sharpen: 75% / 0.8 / Remove Gaussian Blur
7. Hue/Saturation: +10 Saturation
8. Reduce Noise Filter: 6/6%/50%/25%
9. Framing effects

Oh, and somewhere in there after step 4, I used the Healing tool to remove a couple of blemishes that were on the girls face.
