A few from last weeks football game. Before I get any 'Overprocessed' responses...they are processed to this extreme on purpose. I know they look plasticky...it's okay.

Are we allowed to ask why they're this overprocessed?

Can't argue with that...
I kind of like the look, different, but not totally excessive. Nice images.

I'll be willing to bet more than one athlete would like this type of image of themselves. I don't see them as photojournalism, but why must all sports be PJ? Sports art is a big market, and you're crazy to ignore it, if you have the talent.

I realize that they are not 'photographs'. But, they are an example of something different. I have had positive response from them and the players. I used this on a group swim team pic, and the parents went wild for them.

My guess: tone mapping or shadows and highlight dialog, along with some localised contrast with USM, and heavy noise reduction.

I think they are awesome. Different is good, and photography doesn't have to match reality. I bet they are very popular with the players.
