very nice, did you use anything like Lucis in the PP in these, Im not 100% but there seems to be a slight (ever so slight) halo around them... but it could be my eyes too..

Thanks...

yeah, a slight halo around a few of them...I used the Shadow/Highlight tool in CS3, it just took/added in a few shadows and such, I guess its sort of like Lucis...

I like the effect that this tool gives sometimes,
It can be a little much at times though.

It is much more effective in extreme cases to blend multiple layers of processing.

That's Vic Park Bowl in Perth isn't it? Good to see someone riding that bowl properly, and it's a shame they painted it all grey, it was much better for photography when it was like it is in your photos.

I hate it when bright bowls get painted grey.

Nice shots, I quite like the first one one for some reason, even though you can't see the ramp.
The second is a bit late, innit?
Unless he didn't do the tbog properly?

The halos and post processing are kinda ridiculous.
