 I fully expect to get hammered on this, for not only the post processing, but the subject. BUT she is wearing a gas mask and that certainly fits the challenge.

Model is my beautiful daughter, we were at the fire station to get a background shot for a firefighter's calendar that we publish next week. This one wasnt' the one choose, but I loved the look on her face, and I think the post processing brings out the somberness of what these true heroes do for us.

Post processing was fairly simple a little raw, NI, Luko's, NI again, and poster edges. Then a simple resize and save for web.

Expecting 4.5 hoping for 5.5

I like the concept of this, but the processing is a bit overboard, in my opinion. Also, I think a closer, lower perspective, would help to show the little girl better.

I like the graphic rendition, but would like to crop more from the photo as it appears to add little

Cute picture but I would have liked it without the extra processing and also a bit brighter.

This looks really overprocessed, nearly posterized. Maybe you intended it that way, but it's not to my liking. I would really like to see this without all the processing. I think I would really like it, especially if the feet were included.

Nice idea but way too overprocessed for my taste

this is intriguing but I want just a little more detail to see more of what's going on.

I'm sorry but this picture is kind of hard to follow. The filter choice makes the detail far to muddy and unfortunatly ruins this image.

not quite light enough to see the detail on my monitor - is that a Fire Engine ?

I really don't like the cartoon processing.

shoehorned... since it's not on her face...

Adorable, I love what the filter has done to this. Good luck!

This is a tough type of Post Processing to submit on this site. A valiant attempt though. Good luck!
