Before and After

[RustingInPeace]

Just messing around in photoshop. Thought the after had a little more "pop". Well at least the client thought so.

Definately the post-work! :thumb

Uh-uh, sorry - that vignetting is just way overdone and too obvious for me. The "pop" could maybe achieved by an overall increase of blacks and then selectively reducing the effect on the girls, or by boosting contrast in general. Well, I am not a portrait shooter and if the client liked it, I guess it's okay. But from an artistic point of view, I can't say that it makes for better pictures, IMHO :dunno.
