tried my hand at some minor processing - just wondering if it works. All thoughts and comments are appreciated as always. Thank you in advance.

Excellent, what did you do. Ed.

oops
exposure 1/1250 @ f/8.0
focal length 7.82mm
ISO 200
The original image was flat and soft due to the lighting which was a haze.
I use Lightroom 4.4 and attempted to give the picture some hardness and clarity.
First I adjusted temp -20, tint -35, clarity +20, vibrance -10, saturation -30
Using presets I added vignette 1, used contrast to soften the vignette, then used the bleach bypass preset.

I am glad that you found the processing valid. Thank you for your words.

The photo is amazing, but I appreciate you sharing the PP details more. Congrats

It would look brilliant, printed up on some good quality fibre matt paper, say A3 or A2 and then properly matted and framed.

It's all good stuff Jim, well done a real competition winner in my opinion.

Regards.

Phil.
