Yep, still procrastinating.
Because there can be no such thing as too many EE Party Tent screencaps, I pored over the scene in which Bilbo pulls Frodo aside, hiding from the arriving Sackville-Bagginses. Once they are out of danger, Bilbo tries to confide to Frodo what he plans to do. He struggles to say what he feels, but can't quite bring himself to do it. He ends up changing the subject and bringing the exchange to an abrupt close. Frodo mostly listens. I think this is a gorgeously played scene, and film-Frodo looks gorgeous in it. As I moved from frame to frame, I almost couldn't choose....
Frodo's face changed by only the tiniest increments as he listened to Bilbo, but I stared, enthralled, just the same.
I still am staring. How can he LOOK like that? My heart squeezes in my chest gazing at such finely-drawn emotions, expressed by a face of such incredible beauty. The lighting inside the tent doesn't hurt, either, producing, "Golden Frodo".
Here are some caps, appearing in film order.
Golden Party Tent Frodo:
Ah, just look at those eyes, so dark, so brimming with affectionate feeling:
And now, for the real drool-fest:

Re: Frodo as David OMG!!
Anyway, here's a link to the album:

If you just click open the first one, you can just keep clicking, "Next," to view them full-size. Otherwise, just click on the image you are interested in and it will enlarge. There are two pages. Actually, there is probably something to click at the top to access Photobucket, too, if you are interested in checking out what they have to offer.
I started making them to entertain myself and other besotted posters in Frodo's Harem, a thread at Khazad-dum (a Tolkien messageboard). The first ones I made were meant to be funny, since we were always talking about film Frodo's "art masterpiece"-classical beauty. But I soon found that I could make really beautiful images of him, too. Others were merely excuses to see him dressed in the costume and look of another era.
He really is a splendid model!
To make them, I used the photoshopping programs we already had loaded on our machine at home. For almost all the manipping I used the older, Microsoft Digital Image Pro 7.0, because I understood more easily how to find the things I needed on it. For almost all the cropping and re-sizing I used ACDSee 7.0 which does those functions more easily. ACDSee does everything the other program does and more, but I don't understand how to use most of its functions or how to access the tools. I don't really know how to use either of them properly; I just kept learning things as I fiddle. People who manip a lot seem to prefer PhotoShop.
