Photographers Comments
Nik isnt very good around beer, but is always well looked after. flashes every now and again, but it is controlled

Mate I can't believe this has had no comments.
Loving the beer (as I do) this is a really good example of how it feels to have had one too many and your mate looking at you and saying 'you alright mate?' with a wry grin on his face!
Is it radial blur you have applied? I have never seen a shot where it actually works until now.
The conversion is good, nice gritty contrast but not over done. This could be used in some kind of campaign for or against the amber poison bud. Its a good shot. Your mate has the perfect face for it, busted nose and all.

Hi Jam, I too seemed to have missed this image, you have caught a very relaxed face expression with a smile, and still another pint to get down. It has worked very well in monochrome. You could possibly lose some of the left hand side which for me is not doing anything. Well done.

THANKYOU TCO!!!! u saw it exactly how i intended it to be. "to have had one too many and your mate looking at you and saying 'you alright mate?!"

most comments else where said "he looks allright" GRGRR

Yes it is a radial blur, and i too havnt seen it work until now. i was just flicking through past folders and this one hit me! had to be edited.

barry- few people said that, but as i made it to look like the shot is from the eyes of a piss'ed i thought it should be wider, to keep the blur to the left away from our Adz's fizog.
cheers for finding it guys
J
