yeah i think it looks cool, but i think it will only work on certain photos. play around with it on some other photos and post them up so we can see them.

Ya like it was said ... it'll work great for some shots.

The quad shot isn't bad , but I think full colour would look better . The jersey shot on the other hand looks GREAT with the effect.

I'm sure working with all the after effects of a photo is a whole project in itself;) If they could be toned down a bit to match closer to the number plates I think it would help. They kinda stand out as it is now:p Could be a good thing if it were an ad for the hand guards though:D

Ahhh.. Much better:D

Many manipulated photos can look great and when is obviously apparent that was the intent like in the trophy pic it's easier to pass it off as intentional. But when the pics look cartoonish it may not such a good thing:p

I'm picking up little 'tidbits' of info from you and others who post their experiences in these photography threads;)

i think the gncc cup looks aesome, im sure your stuff is much better but i kinda have the same effect on my digital camera.

i think grey photos look awesome, it really makes you focus in on the other details rather than the color.
