spent a few lovely hours at my favorite watering hole with some of my favorite people, and these are some of the results... if they're not good i can always blame the alcohol.

oh, before i forget happy, prosperous and creative new year to all.

#1


#2


#3


#4


#5 color


#5 sepia-ish



thanks in advance,

Eddy

Luv the setup and the first 3, I take it the last 2 were the signs of happiness, or OOF shots ... lolol LUV them.

I like #3 the best

I think I like #3 for the selective focus, but I think I'd prefer it in color, if you have it.

#3 color



thanks for the coments Eddy, Erin and Kate.

yeah, i'm blaming the 4 cosmopolitans; they (not me!) are responsible for the bluriness of the shots and the err... not quite true to color post processing...

as Kate suggested, i re-worked #3 in color. i'd originally stayed away from that because there were some reflections i wasn't sure i'd be able to deal with (definitely not while in a cosmo state of mind). now that that the alcohol has left the system, my brain can go back to remembering how to use layers.

I think I still prefer the B&W version of this one(#3)

kdotaylor

I kinda like the colored one better.

#3 for me, though #2 is very nice also.

I like the angle on #2 & the color tone. Also like #3 in the color version better - I like the little bits of red, blue, orange, yellow & think they brighten the photo - but most times I prefer color to b/w.

thanks for all the input. i went with the color version but played with the levels and curves a little more.

i wouldn't have gotten here if not for all of you, so once again, thank you!!!
