Never actually heard the song, darn it.<BR/><BR/>Onto the photos... last night (or, last year for me--however you want to look at it), I was leaning toward the 1st photo. However, in 2009, I prefer the 3rd photo. I'm generally a huge fan of sepia, but I agree with you--there's character in the colors with this subject, so my vote is going to the enhanced version.<BR/><BR/>I think blogging and compulsive photoshopping is a great means of escapism from all the horrors that are surrounding you.

It must be terrible to live in a threatening situation like that, and it must create very mixed feelings, seeing other people celebrating without a care in the world. The truth is, we do care. And I pray that peace WILL come in your part of the world, and that the hard of learning WILL realize what the hell they are doing to their people.<BR/><BR/>That said, I wish you a happy New Year, happy blogging , photo shooting and photo shopping.<BR/><BR/>As for the pictures, I prefer the natural look. I like the third one too, but to me that one looks like a picture for a glossy magazine. Where they photoshop anything and everything, you never get the real truth. That's why I like the first one.

The first shot is more like what I actually saw that afternoon, but to me the third shot more accurately reflects the scene's potential :). Anyway, that's the thing about art - it's all subjective and there are no wrong answers. I've enjoyed hearing all of your preferences and the reasons behind them.
