Not quite Steve! I see a bass and envision a name on it.

No dice there Vito! I have always been a bigger fan of Mr. Franklin...

Maybe something with a prime minister on it will speed up my 4004cii BBR, Ben? It's all about the Bordens...

Hey Ben, how do you feel about a whole lot of shiny gold coins with pictures of funny black and white birds on them?...We have a lot of the laying around in Canada.

Steve...for you I could arrange a picture of my 4003fg standing in front of the world's biggest fiberglass fish.

I'd love to see that John! There's not much in the way of oversized tourist attractions in my neck of the woods, but maybe Peter could get us a shot of himself and his favourite Ric in front of the giant axe in New Brunswick.

Quick fix:

While it's still in layers, go to>Image>Adjustments>Hue and Saturation.

Select the Lemmy layer, move the slider in the "hue" bar to the left and the red will go away and turn greener. Find a shade that works, and you're done. Playing with brightness/contrast works to lighten him up to look like daylight in muskie country.
