 This was my first attempt at post processing and was within a month of getting my camera. The local pub wanted to have their own photo used on posters promoting the Woodchopping Carnival. The brewery was printing the posters.

The local barman and I headed out and a couple of locals posed for the photos.

The editing was a nightmare for me because I didn't know much about layers or anything so while I had a couple of layers I was erasing bits here and there. The beer crate was pasted in from another image. Looking back I'd do a lot more to this (like removing the fence) but this still came out well.

It was a buzz to have the picture in public on a poster. The pub has a framed copy on the wall now too!

Great shot. You can really feel the emotion here ... I love the choice of selective coloring, too ... much improved over the original (which is nice, too) :)

IMO you've created a very good poster here...

I really like your postprocessing. The tint combined with the coloured beer bottles works very well, and the two models are doing a terrific job as beer drinkers. A picture you can be very proud off I think...

I'm not sure abut the coloured thing in his hat though (might be bcause of the size here). It draws a lot of attention due to the colours, but you can't really tell what it is.
