123/365

This was not the most technically proficient photo of the day, but I was drawn to the delightful expressions on my friends' faces.

I did a bunch of processing in atempt to deal with the problems of a quick snap in low lighting (the colour balance was wretched, the exposure was uneven and blurry, too...) It's still pretty messy, but I am pleased with how far it came along.

Here's the unprocessed shot, if you're curious:

Pleasant smiles, you've done a great job in processing this. Nice composition.

@overalvandaan Thanks Saxa! :D

Fun subjects. I don't know, this picture might work much better in black and white, because the noise would then add to the picture rather than detract from it. Especially colour noise is a little unsightly, in my opinion.

@klas I appreciate your honest critique! That's a good idea to try B&W. Yes, it is pretty noisy. I haven't quite gotten a handle on how to reduce noise in low light conditions like this.
