Poolhall Junkie - A Self Portrait [Photography Contest Details & Macro Photos]
Uploaded: January 21, 2005 01:47:09
This is a re-submission of the shot from last month, only converted to b&w, added a touch of unsharp mask filter and cloned out a few imperfections in the image. Also, gonna try it in Details and Macro instead of People category this time around. I hope ya like it!

I like the B&W... #207266Allan L. Whitehead January 21, 2005
Nicely done, Donald, I like the re-submit in b&w, as it takes me back to the 'olden days' and the stark memories of life in a 'pool-hall', eh… Very well done, my dear friend - your good friend, Allan #1052827Alan L. Borror January 21, 2005

Great perspective, Donald. I guess it is not so bad being behind the 8 ball, if you can "bridge" the gap ;) #1053195Adilson F. Ferreira January 21, 2005
