Drunk, South of the Border

[kdthomas]

Took these of a buddy of mine while we were out shooting one day. Playing with lightroom presets, and made one to look grainy, hot & dry ... you know ... Mexico. Original is below.

The preset works quite well, but the shot has problems otherwise.

I'd like to hear what you think. I know I chopped off the model's right foot, and a couple of highlights are blown out after the preset

Maybe I haven't seen enough drunks to know for sure, but he doesn't look very drunk to me.

Yes, the foot, but also shiny shoes, the angle of the sun, the label turned perfectly toward the camera, and distracting elements in the frame.

Cool, I appreciate the input

eh.. almost not quite. he don't look drunk I don't think. I have been drunk and I don't think I looked like that when I was drunk. Next time I am drunk I will try to remember to take a selfie and let you know.
