Someone in the People Forum suggested I post these here. They're not actual event photos, but rather taken as part of their high school senior portrait session. Rather than the hokey photo holding the ball or sitting on the ground with all the jerseys and trophies spread around them, the kids are digging this look as an alternative.
If this is the wrong place for these, I'll go away...
Overall I like them and dig the idea.
Great idea to bring something new to a boring market.
What I am not digging is some of the processing. Not the harsh edgy look I am talking about the lighting effects added to the stadium lights look really fake.
Also the photo of the girls is disturbing. I am not a fan of their facial expressions and you used to short of a lens. The closer girl looks bigger than she really is because of the lens choice and photo angle. It is un flattering.
I bet she is not pleased and this is probably not her favorite photo.

I love the processing, very dramatic!
I do have a few nits however...
1. Great.
2. Bad facial expression imo, eyebrows need to be down.
3. Good, I think they should be looking at the camera giving a little attitude.
4. Great.
5. Great, maybe even more rain!
6. Good, too much head space maybe?
7. Great, and would love to see the feet.
8. Good, perhaps the blur isn't necessary?
9. Okay, looks like a failed ollie or kick flip.
10. Great, except that there's nobody there. Is he celebrating alone?
11. Great.
12. Okay, too much processing.
13. Excellent, probably my favorite of the bunch.
Like I said, I'm nitpicking. This is very exciting work, thanks a ton for sharing!

If you guess that movie quote then you watch too many movies
I guess I don't watch too many movies or I'm just an ol' fart cuz I can't make a guess. However, I do know that I spend too much time on the forums instead of shooting.
