Are they as good as I think they are, and does the PP work... I was going for the aggressive feel like in the movie 300

Nice action shots, Razor, but I'm not a fan of the PP. I can see what you were going for, but I like the original images better.

I like a natural look especially for sports. PP effects only if there's a specific reason to.

hmmm... I was super excited when I saw the SOOC shots... and then I noticed the intensity on her face and thought that the "nice" colours didnt' really match... so I thought it would be better to make it "edgy" and "aggressive"...

I think the first photo is the best.


you're a great friend, but if Zombies chase us, I am tripping you.

With your processed images, I'm imediately drawn to the forehead as it now is so much lighter than the rest of your subject's skintone. As these are ultimately action shots, it is preferable to be able to enjoy the whole image. Hence I much prefer the pre edits.

Way too much vignetting

okay... well I think the SOOC shots are much more "well received"... thanks to everyone for their comments...

I think I will redo my PP to be more "original" in nature maybe saturating the colours and creating a little more "depth" to the photos- I'll try to post one of the redo's here and you can let me know what you think..
thanks again.

The vignette on the first one is a little heavy for my taste.
