Before/After?

Before
Image taken by : Bamavoo

Beautiful picture, I believe I messed it up with my chop, but I had to try.

After
Photoshop by : Myself

Differences might seem minor, probably just looks like grayscale, but I put a bit of time in it.

I prefer the original, safe the red net. Figured some people would like black/white...

I like them! :thumbsup:

Go back and add the red into the Backboard in the BW image. That would look sick.
Don't make it too flashy though.

the latter is far too bland, but neither impressive.

at the least, do a grayscale conversion instead of a desaturate.

i do like the b&w suggestion with the red backboard, which I would saturate a bit more. Also, I'd photochop out hte soccerball... it should be a basketball laying below the hoop.

I'll give those suggestions a try. I figured the same with the basketball.

it's funny, our technology is to the point where someone could see that picture, after you put a basketball in, and think it looks perfect. Except that in reality, it never happened like that. It never existed. In reality there was a soccer ball.

I'm colour blind, so I'll have to trust all of you on this one.

Basketball

Is that too red? Does the ball look like it belongs?

It's not too red. I would try brightening the woods areas in the background and to bring out some of the details and textures that are hidden when converted to grayscale.

Also for the basketball, for it to look natural you have to get rid of the shadow and then mess with the contrast and brightness along with the saturation, after you get that right adjust the lighting of it, and if you can really tell by the picture where the source of light is coming from create a shadow the same color of another shadow in the picture. Then readjust the color balance and grayscale the whole thing. That combination always works best for me.

Some things I'll have to fix in the morning, when I'm rested and done school.

Keep the criticism comming, I'll try to work on each aspect when I get back.
