Freestyling

I have been following some football freestylers this week as part of a movie release. They have some amazing skills with the ball... Some more shots to follow...

Anyway - I'd like to post more here so, here's one to start...

f 5.6 1/2000 60mm and ISO 200

Small adjustments to exposure and contrast in lightroom and converted to b&w.

Would welcome any comments on this candid shot...

Cheers.

I like the triangular composition, and the variety within it; the dude looking face-on has a great, natural expression, which sums up the feel of the picture; the dude on the right more relaxed and the dude left, although his face is obscured, good hair and tattoo detail. Overall, it's a bit grey the image; the contrast and levels need working on; the sky is grey and should likely be lighter. Shame the sky is so bland too, but not much that can be done. Thinking about it, perhaps there's another crop in there - will have a think about that. Also, work on the detail in the shadows, which are showing little at the moment. Presume you worked in RAW? If so, should be no issue. If not WHY THE HELL NOT WITH AN SLR??

Good shot, needs some working on to get max punch, essential in mono work.

Would also be interested to see the original colour image, as I imagine their might be good, saturated colour in there. Sometimes, high contrast images don't always do better in mono than the colour originals.
