    Interesting shot. Actually I think the first one looks better, but that guy in the lower left corner detracts from it, so I can see why you cropped it.

    comp of the second one is better but the lighting and color is much worse.

    I agree with Brent and meant to comment on this one earlier. Personally I wouldn't have fiddled with the colors at all because you nailed his skin tone in the first one. I don't think the camera man on the right is contributing anything to the scene. I would have given this a vertical crop instead to shut out all of the distractions and leave nothing but the man getting beat into the post. I guess I should start watching wrestling again so I can keep up on the latest players and plot lines, I stopped watching when the Undertaker was still a young guy. . . .

    I like the crop on the second one, but the tones on the first one. Also, I think a tad bit could come off the bottom. Nice shot too.

    I think I would clone out a couple of the background spots. As many as possible. Some of them would be easy to get rid of.

    A lot of action. I think this pic shows that people do stupid things in the name of entertainment I agree that the colors seem like a fantasy. The fellow in the right, I wish what he was doing was a little more obvious... is he taking video? Hard to say. The pole in the center is needed, but also seems in the way. Guess it's a good action capture, but not an award winner: if more expression was visible on his face, I think it would have been even better.
