| | Great photos Janet. Thanks for sharing them.
I gathered some background images and collaged them together using different blending modes. Then I Buzzed it and added some grain texture. Some dodge and burn finished it off.

| | | If you look carefully at a spirit label, you'll find it says "degree" proof, not "percent" proof.
Or the more modern notation is for example (37% vol).
But aside from my incredibly petty nitpicking, I loved your picture Frank, as indeed I enjoyed Cathy's terrific interpretation. |

| | | Really, really interesting technique Steve. I can't decide if it is a cross between stained glass and embossing of some sort. Mind sharing the steps. I'm dying to copy it and add my own touches.

| | | Janet, thank you so much for sharing your photos Captain Morgan didn't quite like the idea of posing...
Fortunately the painter almost finished the work before his tragic death by captain's sword.

| | | You all are so much more creative with these pictures than I could be. Thank you for sharing and doing. I hope everyone is having a grand ole time with the pirates.
And yes, pavel, they would make a great comic book series. When I took their pictures, they were easily the most unhibited and photo friendly of the whole renaissance fair.
