Hi all!
This is a photo from the last week-end party. I've added only the green in PS to make it "advertising friendly" :lol:
I don't know if I will ever use this photo, but I kind of like it.
It's the JPG compression that makes this nasty splash effect :(

It is great -- but -- I did not know what you were referring to as the "splash effect".


PS:
The idea is terrific...but looking ahead to commercial alternatives in the future...I wonder whether a non-smoking subject would be even stronger (e.g. the hand holding an engagement ring).. or say smoke rising from the cigarette.

The "splash effect" is caused by the jpg compression and can be seen only in case your display is running in 16bit color mode. I cannot see the splashes on my workstation monitor that runs in 32bit mode, but I see it on my laptop display that is in 16 bit color.
