First off o would not call that sports photography, that is portraiture. To me looks like HDR or possibly single image tone mapping.

I know what HDR is but What is single image tone mapping and how is it done?

Just like you tone map a HDR image you can also tone map a single image.

The work was not copied, it is hosted on a MM account owned by the original creator, a link does not constitute a copy. Anyway I removed the images.

OP, put a link to the images. This thread is ridiculous without the photos.

Anyways, I still have not decided if I like this kind of PP work but I want to ask you why you think it is so great. Seriously interested.

Posting a link is fine. Posting somebody else's photos are not allowed.

KmH, relax. We do have moderators here. You don't need to be the TPF police force.

Are you:
1/ Elvis
2/ A frustrated cop
3/ A frustrated lawyer
4/ A real cop
?

Darn, if I wasn't so worried about some members taking this idea seriously, I would make a survey thread out of this

What do you think was done to this single image to achieve such amazing results?

 

[Ginu]

I have never tried single tone mapping but I've seen quite a few photographers using similar methods to achieve such dramatic shots.

To be honest I'm not even sure that's the method used but I would sure like to know.
