1 and 2 kind of look like video game box covers? #3 seems the most lifelike.. Maybe I'm just seeing things though.

Thanks for the comments. I'm not sure what you mean about video game box covers but I assume it's not desireable. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Nice shots. I only shoot ambient in high school gyms, which I'm sure are not as well lit as a University gym. I usually have to shoot anywhere from ISO 3200-6400, 1/500ss with f/ 2.8 to 3.5.

I apologize if the EXIF is intact, but I have no idea how to see it from POTN. I looked on your website and didn't find it either. Would you please share you settings?

I mean the shooter in the first and second seem to have that plastic look that I get sometimes with too much noise reduction... at least when I compare it to the shot of the guys waiting for the rebound. Like I said b4 though..it could just be me :)

Thanks Chris. All shots were at 1600, 2.8, the just shot was at 1/500, the other two at 1/640.
DHMN, good observation. I just starting using Neat Image and need to work on my settings. Thanks for the CC.
