Skee Bowl Repost with new/old Numbers

[MonkeyWrench]

Do you think this works better than the last one. I tried various filters etc in PS to distress the numbers. This is what I came up with. Frosted Glass for the white halos around the numbers and plastic wrap for the black part. I also toned down the halo a bit.

I like the composition, but the numbers' outlines are so bright -- is this the way they were or is it digitally enhanced?

The black background is neat!

The white on the numbers has been digitally enhanced, but just the opposite. If you think they are bright now you should of seen the original. The original number halos are a bright white which were exagerated by the on camera flash. I re-shot with a tripod and no flash but did not get this crop.

I like the composition a whole lot. The numbers just look wrong to me.

Have you tried B&W? I do like the colors so perhaps you should keep fooling around with this since you are close to having a real winning image here.

Thanks,

I'll Keep Trying and see what i can come up with.
