this is really nice and gritty looking. any processing comments? I'm wondering what it might look like with a light screening layer over the BAKERY sign.

Good food, bad lighting.

that meal was really impressive. I was amazed at the number of dishes being passed around - and somehow we managed to eat almost everything.

Hey, thanks. Actually, I have to admit (and I didn't mean to mislead in the Photographer's Comments section) that I did use PS for the toning. The Draganizer action was useful with this as well as dodge & burn. The lighting in the original exposure was much harsher than this, and the colors more washed out. But then, this version is a lot closer to what I saw at the time than the photo was before.

I see what you're saying about the finger being cut off... and I agree, it adds some visual tension that doesn't help this photo compositionally. Unfortunately, the finger was cut off in the original. Mostly I just wanted this to be a snapshot of the rocks that were there.

Thank you for your detailed comment... I really do appreciate it.

agreed, this is very well done - the recovery of detail in the dress is especially nice

word up on the furry guy. and whoever it was that commented on another one of these in this series that said you should be charging big $$ for these is right - the commercial value of this kind of work is very high, so don't undersell yourself
