"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
- Zen Buddhist Text
@Monte Stevens: This was largely accomplished by reducing the saturation of the image. My favorite way to do that is to first convert the image to black and white using the channel mixer and adjust the color channels to my liking, just as if the image was going to be fully monochrome. Then I adjust the opacity of the layer so that some of the color comes through. Finally, I added a blur layer with the opacity adjusted to about 50 percent.
