Hi,

I've been playing around with Lightroom and wanted some opinions on these images - don't worry about the content/composition just let me hear your thoughts on the processing styles.

#1 increased constrast and warm tones

#2 Lomo style effect

Number one's my favourite - I could see that effect used in a Sunday magazine :)

Not so keen on the second for some reason - would have to see some other images with the same effect to see if it grows on me.

Number three gives me the creeps - nothing wrong with the effect but looks a bit too close to an NSPCC ad poster for my liking :suspect:

Though perhaps it's all my slightly warped thought process :D

Mono with split toning is mine. Nice effects on all, but that's my favourate.

Number 2 for me as well - Kinda focuses the eye on the face. :thumbs:

2 and 3 for me. I like the warmer look of 2 and the split toning on 3 really works well.

Agreed. I like the first one, the second one is a bit too extreme in terms of contrast, and the third one.. well im not a huge fan of split toning, and as unclerichy mentioned, it looks like something the NSPCC would use.
