I was taking band photos for this band at the begining of the month. I didn't even know there would be another open challenge. I edited this photo gave it to the band, and 24 hours later 6 other bands contacted me about doing a shoot for them! I said I need to put this in a challenge and see how many 5's it gets!

42 fives. There I have my answer.

Here is the photo before PP.

I love it! You have spectacular post-processing skills. The voters just rob people of great scores in Free studies it seems. They are so hard!

macrothingalready nailed everything I was going to say. I also wonder if it would benefit to straighten out the lines of the wall with the transform tool? They are off just enough to be a slight distraction, but not enough to appear intentional.

I really like this. You have a great eye for color and grungy processing. The image is interesting, balanced and has a lot of depth. Great work.

It's also thrilling to see that you got many referrals from this shot! Congrats! I think you'll do very well as a band photographer.

8 - The processing complements the characters in this shot very well in my opinion. Colors are good too. The main things that detract (and fairly minor) in my opinion are: the (dark) visible manhole/drain/something on the left and the skin/lighting on the young gentleman's face on the left (just seems slightly 'inconsistent' with the other two), but fairly minor. The 'blown' areas don't detract and actually add to the good character overall captured, including of the individuals. Good image, which no doubt will be treasured by each of the three.

Lots of processing has produced a striking triple portrait.

I can't tell if this was staged or if it was a candid. Either way, it's a great image and nice editing too.

Great! Just a small point: I might have cloned out the rim of that thing at lower left. But an awesome picture.

could easily be used as a band photo...if they're a band, that is

Nicely done! Am drawn to the faces and postures of these handsome young men. Like the overall tone. I think this will do well.

I really like this photo. Feels very three-dimensional. People may find the drain on the left distracting though. I think it will do very well. Top ten, I'd say. Best of luck!

What an interesting portrait. Is that a band? Friends? complete strangers to one another? Interesting lighting.

This is nice, very nice angle and light and post. Teach me how to do that someday. :)Highest rated so far.

I like this a lot. The creases on the pants of the two outside guys and the shirt of the center guy line up well with the lines of the bench. I also like that none of them are looking at the camera and I like the muted colors. Very nice job.

something in the processing here doesn't sit well with me. like too much shadow/highlight or something. it has a look that shows up a lot in advanced challenges. too glowy for me.
