    Wow. I like those a lot. The B&W and toning really help tell a story with the light.

    Would like it much more without the disinterested aka bored "cheerleaders" in the background.

    Otherwise I like the coloring effect and the shots themselves.

    Thanks for the comments y'all, and yeah those cheerleaders were bored at that point cause our team was winning at that point, but when they won at the last match...........whoooooooooo you would have thought they won the National championship!!!!! Seriously it was a great duel! Guess next time I will clone out the c'leaders if they are not adding to the pic.

    I really like the photo, but once again the cheerleads are annoying me. I kind a PS'ed it for you to kinda help you out, the background is dark, but hey atleast those boring cheerleaders arent there anymore.

    You should ask for his permission before messing with his images, Ill.

    I'm sure he's cool with it. But it's good manners.

    My eye was drawn to the cheerleaders sort of secondarily. But the toning
    helps with the noise. Really adds to the look and feel of this shot.

    I'm not sure I agree with waxling. Though it would have been nicer if they
    were paying attention, they still add a bit of interest to the shot.

    Next time I'll be sure to do that, basically just wanted to help him out with his cheerleaders.
