Awesome shot. I loved the processing.

@Anup: Hi Anup. I didn't apply any lomo effect. But if I did, I didn't notice cause I experiment here and there. I desaturated the colours a bit, added photo filters, added a high pass filter with opactiy 50% or more to get that punched out look (Some halos are also desired). Added grain, did dodging and burning, and did my vigetting

This not-completed-desaturation-thing is something I like a lot.
I like the canvas-texture. And for the rest I agree with all the others. :)
