I will start with my love for photoshop, it doesn't matter how crap the photo is - photoshop can normally bring out the best in everything - whether it's fake or real may be harder to see. 

As most of the Photography I take is situated around the things I like to do and the people I enjoy hanging out with. It is unusual for me to simply take my camer and go walk about - although thats what I'd like to do in the future.
So this photo is of the Life Saving Team about to compete - photoshop has increased the detail but also colour washed the shot giving it this otherworldly aurora to it.
