In case you need this after a night of celebration.

Continuing both my throwback Thursdays and my nik collection processing. This is from a poster in a coffee shop my sister and I tried out this summer the steam is fog from silver efex. Not my greatest work but fun to play and figuring most of you are going to be smarter than me and celebrate the new year. Me - a tv dinner and a glass of prosecco. Everything tastes fab with prosecco. I'll be sound a sleep soon. Am I crazy because I am sure this is supposed to be a heart but I see a PacMan. Oh well I am always doing this to your pictures so why not to mine. Let you mind go free.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EACH OF YOU! A FABULOUS NEW YEAR TO CAPTURE THAT ONE PARTICULAR SHOT THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CHASING.

Happy New Year Joan... I see a diamond. I discovered Prosecco in Italy and love it.

@ahleena This was a poster with a black background. I used control points in Color efex with the fog filter to give a look of steam.

[Tanja R]

mmm, looks great! I could really use another cup.

[Yeshanghai]

Beautifully captured. Even though I don't drink coffee, I'd like to have a cup :-)

[Francoise]

Something about the harshness of the colors in this makes it perfect for the sentiment.

[Kate Goring]

Yes, need it indeed! Happy New Year to you as well Joan.

[Merrelyn]

Happy New Year Joan :)

[Chris P]

I need much more than just a coffee to come back to normal ;) Happy new years

[Islandgirl]

Awesome shot!
Happy New Year Joan!

[Taffy]

Happy New Year to you!! I was interested in the fog you created on Silver Efex. I must have an older version as I don't think I can do that. Is it a setting? Or did you figure out a workaround?

[Joan Robillard]

@taffy Their is a filter called fog something. Then I applied it to a control point so it looked a little like steam. I had first applied another filter to the whole picture.
