1st real attempt to take "official 4x4cross photo's" at an event, and a few I played with some photo editing software . . . I'm learning slowly but surely, when your a one man operation gotta be able to do it all: from announcing and DJ'ing, to photography and editing, to websites, event management, sponsoring a truck, you name it, ha.

Pic quality was super rough to start with, currently working on that, and this was done using free photochop knockoff software, so far so good, guess I'll get better as I go, but It'll do for now I guess.

Ok.....whats with the cross processing colors? This looks like a bad trip instead of real editing. Post the originals so we can see what you're working with. I've been working heavily in photo editing for the past 12 years (worked for a print company for 8 years and 2 newspapers as a photographer for 4 years and the photo editor for 1.5 years), so I'm qualified to give you some critique.
 
Yeah I'd trash the cross-process/sepia look and start with some better quality photos. Where you put your logos on the pics looks fine. I would try to find some less busy photos as well. Less people standing around, etc. Great start though. :beer:
 
Yea, there pretty rough, I mean I'm not by any means trying to become a photographer or editor, just gettin by for now with what I got . . .

Had a buddy take pics with a camera I borrowed so I can't really complain about the pics, just appreciative I had any to work with, then tried playing with these for a min or two, just used the "color saturation" "contrast" and r/g/b sliders to make em look like they are.

Here's the album of the originals:
