dj dunzie Online Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · Hockey grunge I am one who tends to go against the grain and enjoy the Topaz / grunge kind of look more than most - at least I don't automatically hate them the way some seem to. I think too much and it doesn't work, and too little and it comes off as just noisy shots. You have a good balance here and I like the treatment as an option for potential buyers. If it were me, I might try to back off the color a little and go grungier if that's even a real word, more of a sepia type toning. But overall I enjoy this kind of different processing... although it definitely is a matter of personal opinion. These look like great shots without the treatment too... and I know I've seen some of them. Nice stuff. Nov 20, 2009 at 03:10 AM

stevenharrington Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #4 · Hockey grunge they look a tad underexposed and i dont like all the noise but i guess this would be sorted out with a bit of post Nov 20, 2009 at 02:49 PM

mikekel Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #5 · Hockey grunge I really like the look, probably would side with not grungy enough. Maybe it's the jersey that's throwing me off, seems too new or bright. I agree with dj, maybe back off the color. I like the look of the darker face in 1, the rest of the faces seem too bright. I do like the look though. Nov 20, 2009 at 06:01 PM

Dave17 Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #6 · Hockey grunge ishootsport3, DJ, Steven, Mike - Thank you all for checking these out and for your feedback. I really appreciate your time and thoughts. As I mentioned in the original post, these pictures were created using a Lightroom Preset. The preset was not downloaded, but rather I followed a "recipe" within Lightroom and then saved the preset which I applied to the photos. The recipe called for -80 saturation and around -.33 decrease in exposure. Your feedback mostly centered on the saturation (too much color) and the under exposure, so I reduced the saturation to -90 and brought the exposure back to 0.0 (Steven, I hear you about the noise. For expedience sake, I have not tackled the noise issue per say. I did boost the noise reduction in Lightroom (which I do not find to be great) a little, but probably need to to more work using Noiseware before applying the preset) Here are the same five pictures with the changes. What to you think now? 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) Nov 20, 2009 at 08:46 PM

mikekel Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · Hockey grunge I like them, it's almost a different style though. I might try boosting saturation on just one color, maybe the blue. Definitely like the first one better Nov 21, 2009 at 04:34 AM

MS PHOTO Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · Hockey grunge I Kind of like it, neat Nov 21, 2009 at 08:30 PM

Dave17 Offline Upload & Sell: On p.1 #9 · Hockey grunge I "kind" of like them as well but not totally sold on the look. Just trying something different and trying to get the correct "look and feel". Thanks for the feedback. Nov 22, 2009 at 02:35 PM
