I was asked to take a photo of six senior hockey players. Next thing you know, asked if I could do a poster. Asked on a Saturday, photo had to be taken on Monday. On Sunday PM went to meet with the lady that had seen a poster done by a gentleman for a school about two hours from where we live. She had seen "Last Shift" on the poster. I asked her if she had contacted the gentleman to see if he was OK with using the "Last Shift" concept with seniors as the feature. She told me that she received permission. While meeting at the ice rink, she kept changing her original concepts for the photo. After about two hours of discussion, I said I would give it a shot, with no promises other than, getting the strobed shot of the six seniors. Monday arrived, had 15 minutes to get the shot....BUT then had to adapt to some last minute requests, one of which was; all hockey players had to be in the photo somewhere. Shot them with available light from the balcony. Put the poster together on my 13" three and half year old MacBook. Here are two versions, see if you can tell the difference. C & C most welcomed.

The actual posters are 11" x 14" in size. (These are a "reduced" version.)

purple background with blue jackets? that's interesting... I like the rectangular vignetting on the full team photo. Was that two different pictures or did they just not like eachother?

purple background with blue jackets?

Yeah, a bit of a problem. The jackets are one of those purples that borders on blue. The school colors are purple and white, sometimes trimmed with black. I tried several things to separate, and/or incorporate the difference between the colors, but with little success.

I like the rectangular vignetting on the full team photo.

Thank you.

Was that two different pictures or did they just not like each other?

:lol: It was completely two different photos on each end of the rink, available light, last minute request by a coach that was needing to continue his practice, (I understand, used to coach!) Plus I had 15 minutes to get the two rink shots (2 teams) and the seniors strobed shot.

Thanks for the C & C.

How about white bg with purple font? (the purple -blue doesn't bug me)

I like it, but my first thought was "wow, really purple" !
