Awesome shots Jay, nice work on the retouching. I don't get too involved in PP if there are more than 30 shots as it is very time consuming...so generally all mine are straight out of the camera at events like this where there are 250, or 500+ shots. Magazine shoots, yes definately, 30 or so shots and I will spend ages on them retouching them to perfection. I think you have gone for quality rather than quantity here, where I have gone for quantity...excellent work though, hope you get these published
Can't see why you can't get a pass, there are plenty of photographers there not shooting for any particular mag or website....at Santa Pod you will need a letter from an editor though.
