Parents from a football team wanted a photo of their sons. It is their senior year in little league football. This was so much fun! The parents and players wanted something other than a tradition group photo. So I pitched them my ideas and they were excited.

One shot, different post processing. C&C is welcomed.

    Very cool shot. I'm betting the boys will LOVE it. I think I'd like to see the processing somewhere between number 1 and 2.

    I think that is one awesome shot. Everyone that is in it should be very happy with the outcome. I'm not really sure which one I like the best but you are definitely on to something with it.

    I would suggest a white outline around the names written in the grass to make them stand out and be easier to read.

    Cool shot. The parents (and players) should love it.

    I think I like the processing on the 3rd one. But I agree about the names in the grass - they really get lost and some thing needs to be done to help them stand out.

    I would generally go for the more draganized approach of #2 but in this case i like the highlighting effect used in #1, I would have never thought of using that approach for this type of work, but it works!! Nice job on the whole concept!!

    Re:Football Team Shot
    I like shot#2, I agree with the names not standing out in the grass, I would like to see the metal background in greyscale, I think it would make a impact without distracting! Overall I am very impressed with the out of the box shot, Very Creative!! Change from traditional is always Good!!! KS
