I changed the processing on my colors a little. Can you let me know what you think: to much contrast, plastic looking, etc. Thanks people

In my opinion the photos don't look "real". They are a bit too gaudy for my tastes.

I suspect most will say it is too over the top. I find them very interesting and wonder how a blend with the original would look. Jim

Which is funny, because the processing looks very similar to Tony Hoffer's and people worship him. That's not a knock on Tony... just sayin'.

IMO, they look nice. Saturation might be a tad high, but we get a lot of artistic freedom in the editing of wedding photos, so to each their own preference.

hahalol I like Tony & Amy. But I don't worship them. I'm doing this because I just got a call from a client next year. She said things looks a little different and unreal. So I wanted to get another opinion.

I like it, but I agree that it could be taken down a notch. There is a lot of noise/color noise showing in the second shot there.

I was thinking the exact same thing, except there's something about Hoffer's I prefer. That being said, I've said for a long time now that I think their colors are a little wonky and would love to see them more 'normal' - but that's probably part of the look all his couples are going nuts over because it looks so different than everyone else and you can spot it a mile away.

Same initial thought - looks like the Hoff's processing.

Looks like a little too much clarity, but not bad. Im curious if these were shot on a Nikon? Just curious.

My first thought was Tony Hoffer processing. I like 'em personally. But I think you gotta shoot a certain way for this sort of processing to work. Else it may look like over-saturated images.

I feel irregardless what processing style you end up with, it ought to echo your photography personality. Does it speaks to you? Your clients? Do exercise care when making drastic changes as it might be a shock to the system when one is perusing your portfolio.

Hmm, I am not seeing Hoff's color pallet

I am seeing clarity pulling down the colors quite a bit. Not my favourite style, but lots of people like it.

I like these quite a bit. The processing can be turned down just a tad and I think they would be perfect.

Who cares if they look like someone else's?

I like 'em.

Print some and make sure the saturation is good in print.

I tend to agree, in general. However, my point behind that comment is that how well something is received on the forum often depends on the forum reputation of the person posting it.

I love it in#1 but #3 is too much. Very cool. Q is this the processing the BnG will get or is this something you are working on, like did they hire with a different look and you will present this? Just wondering out loud and how and when one can actually introduce a new look to their work.
