A bit late, but here’s s photo I took (quickly) while shopping food on December 24th:

D300, ISO 400, 17-55mm f/2.8 @ 55mm, f/2.8, 1/40s.

The original didn’t look very interesting, but it provided a good start. I got to the result above by doing this in Lightroom:

1. Apply my standard D300 develop preset during import.
2. Desaturate all colors except red and orange.
3. Tweak the orange and reds a bit.
4. Adjust the exposure and levels a little.
5. Add some vignetting.
6. Crop.

(Update: Back-dated this post a little..)
