Hi folks:

This is original.

Excellent composition, image and capture Uncle Gus, I like the second one the best...the original is a wee bit saturated for my taste...good show...:cool:

P.S. Just need to run noise reduction on the background and eliminated the cloning marks of the bill...and you got yourself a BIG TEN...:D:cool:

[Harold Davis]

agree with gus about the saturation. and if i had to guess i'd say you moved this guy down and back in the frame. i can see the old bill marks!:D

nice job, UG!!

Hi Gus! Love them both!! I like the colors but feel the original photo(your 2nd post) is more natural-great details as always!

[Jackie Schuknecht]

Great colours and details Gus, like the feet tucked in. Think I like the second too!

Hi Gus, Very nice photo and well done. I would prefer a background probably in between the two as posted.

The last one Uncle Gus is the one. Sharp, well exposed and great background.
