Practice Pic

Hey guys,

I was trying to get some practice, so I used my brother. You can tell how thrilled he was lol. Anyway, I've been playing around with PP, here are two samples. I'd really appreciate some input and suggestions. PP is tough stuff.

Shot with a 5D and 24-105L.

I prefer the 2nd one. It's just a preferance though, I've always like less saturated photos more.

Good shot. I vote for #2 as well.

2 works for me.

I feel like #1 has too much of a yellow tint going on that's really apparent in the wall behind him, if you corrected that it might get my vote.

Yeah I like #2 as well. The first just don't look"real" to me.

did you play with the contrast at all in number 2?

i prefer 1 b/c 2 looks a little dull to me.

first of all, thanks for all the input! i appreciate it.

I'll see if I can fix that.

I don't remember, I was kind of all over the place with adjustments. How do you think I should adjust the contrast?

Any tips for making the photo "pop"?

okay, so I de-yellowfied and desaturated the first pic. let me know what you think.

wayy better

better

i like it!

Number two looks flat to me, I would adjust the contrast up until it looks a bit less flat. I don't know the software you are using, so that is all I can say about it.

I'm using CS5. here's the second pic with a little more contrast.
