What Would You Do (#21)

@Teewinot - I must say, so far you're the winner. That's amazing.

Straightforward focus on the play, and player:



Crop is used to lessen unnecessary surroundings.
Unsaturated B/W copy layer is used to bring separation of dark uniform against dark seating, set to Lighten mode.
Vignette added to further feature player.

Lastly I adjusted the white balance of the topmost layer to remove the yellow hue and then cropped the image down to bring even more of a focus on the center player.

This one is def really cool...

Probably not very original:

1. cropped.
2. new layer, dropper the main colour, fill and select inverse colour; soft light blending and reduce opacity.
3. lasso and apply motion blur.
