Our beloved sheriff Joe Arpaio and his band of working girls doing alittle clean up:


Okay it's my very first time with silverefix software. Lots to learn

[AzPete]

Here is my attempt in Black and white



Thanks again for comments

"working girls" is a good one -a theme worth developing!!!

I'm not keen on the "bar" scene - I'd "junk" those - "begging your humble pardon" and IMHO, and not wishing to be critical or cause any offence to you lot in "The Colonies"

are you using Silver Efex, Pete?

[AzPete]

Yes, just downloaded the trial , if you can believe that...and no offence taken brother...im pretty thick skinned ..ha ha

I like the Sheriff Joe shot too but, unlike Bill, I also like the bar shot and, as I'd thought, I like it more in B&W than in color (and I liked it just fine in color). I find the way all of the lines, floor tiles, walls, ceiling, etc,) all lead you toward the light of the window, the three lights giving it a sense of drama, the empty bar stools and lack of anyone behind the bar making the place seem really empty, and then the two characters scrunched over on the left side in their own little drama (maybe only over what to order!). All of those lines and shades are just better emphasized in B&W, at least to my eye. I still like it and like it even more in B&W.

I suppose, because I'm new to this game, I'm not sure how you define "street" and I felt that the "bar shot" was not street, but the "working girls" was

[AzPete]

thanks Ray so much. and you may be right billn, i assumed street meant anything with people in it. i'm probably wrong as usual.

thanks guys,
Pete

I suppose that I thought "street" was "outside" - maybe I should "google it" along with "working girls"
