new processing style

trying out a new style, comments?

I like it. Can you share how you achieved this look?

nice images.............lik​e the pp work a lot well done ....how did you achieved thetones in the images

LR5 for basics tones and b/w conversion.

the initial processing is using photoshop is retouch as you normally would. flatten image, duplicate layer and Gaussian blur entire layer. next radial blur that layer as desired and then mask out the areas you want to show through.

i think i really like the style, it works well with backlight subjects. im going to go back and try to apply this to some other images i have taken.

I'm not digging the radial blur.

Looks strange, but I think I like it. The face in #1 could use some more contrast, so it pops like in #2. I don't think this will work with any kind of background.

thanks mike.......i looked again 2 is very good ....it was the radial blur that thrue me.....

looks fantastic,love the conversion and the backlit effect looks awsome

Number 2 is good, not a fan on number 1, seems too soft...

Try number 2 in color...

I dont like the radial blur. Its too obvious. Aside that, its looking good.
