Finally - a win!

Finally - a win!
For seven years, my wife and I and some friends have comprised a team
of eight, the Sallee Rovers, against a dozen and a half other teams in
an annual fund-raising Trivia Night for the local Victorian Order of
Nurses. At the end of the night most years, we have been in the middle
of the pack. For the first time, last night *our* team came first.

Here the top teams and the "booby prize" winning team are being
announced. It was all a lot of fun. But I'm right proud of us.

I have probably over-processed the screen somewhat in order to bring
it up for better legibility. For post-pro geeks: I selected the
screen, deepened the darks and mid-tones fairly substantially and
increased local contrast a little. I didn't like the outline of the
screen (it was too sharp and jagged due to the selection) so I drew
the "softening brush" over the screen's perimeter to reduce that
effect. Then I did an unsharp-mask procedure on the entire picture
and I built the border. Finally, I decided the odd coloration of the
mix of light was not as pleasant as a filtered b&w conversion which
this is the result of. All of that was done in PSP X5, except the b&w
conversion which was done in Picasa along with generating the
less-than-one-meg .jpg for posting.
