St Patricks Day Afternoon at Ireland's Four Courts

On my afternoon walk, I was not surprised to see many people in green on St Patrick's Day. Eventually the outfits started looking more and more interesting. I finally realized that I was approaching an Irish bar. I probably could have gotten better shots inside or if I went back at night, but I settled for photographing the smokers congregating outside around 4pm.

At one point I was standing next to another photographer who asked if I worked for a newspaper. She works for the bar and was taking photos for their web page. This seemed like my best shot even though it was a bit overexposed. I'll have to look at the web page to see her photos.
Thanks for the follow! Welcome to the 365 project. Love your photos so far and cannot wait to see more. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Wonderful moment, wonderful story of arriving at it. Looks like the light issues were difficult; on my screen, the skin tones are a tad leprechaun!

Yeah. It was hard to get the colors right when I played with exposure in Lightroom. It doesn't help that I'm using an old monitor. I might play with it a bit more after I switch to a better monitor. On this one, the colors look pretty much the same in this shot as the ones that had correct exposure in the camera.
