Thanks! Playing with eyeballing the white balance. Going more for what looks good rather than what looks "right." A friend asked me about getting too fake... Hum? I understand the concern, sure. I figure when the commission is to output "photo realist" then we have and issue. If not it is all about where the play brings you and where you bring the play.

My returning to the photos that I am using as material for learning photoshop is totally from the energy I still feel from them, from the original subjects. Even a sunset or an object. When I work the clubs I am dancing and consciously attempt to "hunt" for the moment's movement to capture the movement's moment. (
