I really gotta call into question just how picky we going to be here?
The photo was barely altered. For comparison, I did another in the series (that I have yet to post). Side by side. Second one was altered to mimic the above photo. Changes: 25% sharpening, extremely minimal adjustment using the "curves" tool in Photoshop. I spent 5 min total, that's including opening photoshop, making this. If I spent a little more time I could have exactly replicated the process. A quarter of the pics on this forum have more editing than this. I can't imagine why this was JIHAD'd
