#6 looks awesome. What kind of PP/action did you use on that one?

#6 seems to be a crowd pleaser. With the exception of the few shots in which the soft focus effect was applied, all processing was pretty much done in Lightroom. For shot #6, I used a preset I made up, and then tweak it a little bit. I was shooting for an almost Dragan-like effect there.

And thanks for the comments everyone. I really do appreciate all the feedback.

Wow! I also like the chocolate look. I might have to try to figure it out since you are not sharing your preset. Very nice job.

I'm always willing to share.

Kai, start with these settings as your base and adjust from there. I named this preset "Burning Daylight", which is based off of another preset I named "300 Light":

^ Thanks for the coloful commentary, Jared!

Sorry, people, but I have to play by the forum rules. I took down several of the photos in order to limit my posting to 8 images. I know I should've known better. I kept my 8 personal favorites up, and I'll be sure to post them up on pbase or something later on. Thanks.

"OOOOh BAY-by!! HOT SSSSSSSIZZLE!

Jokes aside they are pretty damn good Ed

Don't know how I missed these .. great series.

I love # 11

I absolutely loved the church shots - great job and awesome colors!!!!

Stacie

Great work here Ed. Lovely composition and processing!

The only one I'm not fond of is #4 as the camera's LCD is well exposed, but I wish you had brought up the shadows a bit so that the rest of the image is also well exposed.

The rest simply rocks, esp. #6 as everyone else said!

Actually, I did bring up the shadows. It was much darker before, but I can only recover the shadows so much before it starts to really look like total crap.

But thanks for the recommendation. All of your comments and critiques are a very important part of my professional growth and development.

great stuff man... LOL on the "300 light"

Great job, Eddie Baby. You never seem to disappoint!
