#20 - joyful

Connecticut, USA

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all!

This is from our local Irish Club (my wife Anne is a member). The band was in another room and it was standing room only. I have to admit that I simply did not want to stand for hours, so we left and went to a quiet, but less joyful, restaurant and had Corned Beef & Cabbage. :)

I have to agree. I shy away from the crowds these days myself!

Great capture of this crowded room Frank, I would go for corned beef and cabbage too! V

One guy is standing out from the crowd! I'm with you on not wanting to be in the crowd. But a lot of photo ops. :)

So you missed a lot of guinness.
Brenda19-Mar-2012 21:01
I would be more joyful too in a less crowded atmosphere!

Looks like a fun gathering - and I like your use of selective colouring. Glad to hear you enjoyed the day. V

Oh that sounds like a good party and food...yummy!!

I think I'd feel swamped amongst that crowd being only 5 ft 2 inches..but it certainly
fills the bill - they're all definitely having a "joyful" time of it there! Great shot Frank.

Great candid, full of activity.
Sheila19-Mar-2012 08:38
A great shot but there's no way I could stay there either.
Corned beef aand cabbage sounds good.
Janice Dunn19-Mar-2012 08:33
Lots of people here. I don't think I'd like to stay either...

Perfect for the great American Holiday of St. Pat's! I love the selective coloring here.

There must have been a lot of Guinness flowing. Nice group shot and a good choice for selective color. V
Jean D19-Mar-2012 02:13
Excellent selective color, Frank! One Irishman in the room and the remainder are simply lookin for green beer. Lol. ~V
Laryl19-Mar-2012 02:02
way too crowded for me.. but if everyone is having fun that's what counts, and you made the best of it with this photo
Janet Donnelly19-Mar-2012 01:12
Striking "people" photo! Love the green shirt! Although I thoroughly understand your leaving and going to a more quiet and serene place! I probably would have done the same thing.
Ed McConnell19-Mar-2012 00:53
nice group shot and cool green shirt idea..
Guest 19-Mar-2012 00:26
That guy sure stands out in this crowd.
