I have been playing around with different post processing methods/colors/presets ect. I am trying to get feedback on a few, please let me know what you think about this. (Btw, the seniors really like it!)

    Definitely different....
    The last two look almost comic book-y (if that's a word). I kinda like it.thumb.gif

    Those are fantastic! I think the term "now" diagnosed it the best! They are very much progressive.

    Me too
    I've been doing the same kind of PP on some of my images and I have a few on display. Most of the photographers look and think that I overdid it but the non photographers like it a lot. I play with levels and curves and modify the colors, sharpen a bit beyond normal and voila!

    Wow, great replies!!

    I do everything in Adobe Lightroom, No Photoshop.

    In the first image, I started with a custom preset version of sepia and I increase the contrast and black levels with a touch of Negitive vignetting (Black corners).

    The second image was started with a custom preset and increase the contrast and black levels.

    Same process on the third image.

    When I have time, I will put together a step by step with images of the process.

    Thanks for all the great replies.

    I would guess your style really works for the younger generation. Do you do standard pics as well for the parents and grandparents?

    Wow, Troy, I really like this process. Its unique for the genre, which might create a little niche, and I'll bet the youth generation will definately love them.
