I LOVE New Orleans. It's my favorite city in the US (I have to investigate San Fransisco a bit more before I completely rule that out, - and of course, St. Augustine has it's charm, - but we're a TOWN, not a city! *g*) We go at LEAST once a year. This was taken a few months back (oct. I think). There is something about the picture that I like, despite the sad part of it. ... more...

Same picture, but different filter for the background...

... and black and white.... with the same filter as the above applied

Thank you, Alpha. Now but which one is the better. Un-edited, the background makes too much noise, - and the "lady" drowns in the crowd. What else could I have done with it?? Britt PS YUP! You DEFINATELY have to go, - and bring a lot of film! :)

I kind of like the first one best, the background seems to be moving, but the lady is standing still.... I loved NO the one and only time I went - only I was in the 6th grade and was just old enough to realize it would probly be a lot more fun if I came back as a grownup, LOL!

I liked the b/w. What exactly was she doing! It looked like she was pulling something up! It's her facial expression. Something was not quite right with the beer! Bsteph

I like the 1st one, because of the movement/standing still feel that Sweet mentioned...my brother lives in San Francisco, but I can't see us going anywhere in a hurry until the rugrats are a bit older...Oh well!

I like the first one, myself.. 'cept I don't know if the direction of the blur is right or if it's too strong.. she doesn't strike me as someone in the mood to walk that fast. :P It's a good pic though.. one thing that's interesting is how the lady is black and the background crowd seems to be all white people, too. All in all, gotta love New Orleans though. I still play Gabriel Knight 1 from time to time for the locale. ;) - darkpen

....errr, more of that Large virgin serie? But hon', this time, I doubt that virging theme... Beautiful pic. But, instead of that wind-filter, gave a shot to motion blur, its easier to control and would give more realistic effect. .n
