Poolhall Junkie - A Self Portrait
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!

  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

  Nicely done Donald. I like the conversion to black and white . . . adds a certain feel to the image!! Both are great though! Love the perspective.

  Great perspective, Donald. I guess it is not so bad being behind the 8 ball, if you can "bridge" the gap ;)

  Thanks a lot, Wally, Claudia, Cindy, Adriel, Dan, Dorothy, Cathy, Donna, Judy, Detrick, Darren, Danilo, Patricia, Allan, Colleen, Tammy, Donna, Murry, Larry, Marsha, Stephen, Stan, Linnea and Adilson.

I'll be making my comments on the finalists tomorrow when I get back to work. My PC here at home is acting weird and making it difficult to do any commenting.
