Here I isolated the players and added an adjustment layer for selective color.
I added two sets of Render->Lighting Effects.
Then, I added a mask to both lighting layers, lowered opacity and removed some of the light from the player in black (Tony Parker) because it was over-exposed.

I will get better at dictating what I have done with each pic......I promise.

Great Photo thanks! These are fantastic results
After a couple of weeks on holiday I'm a little rusty so chose this one to get back into the "feel" of things!

Duped bottom layer
L2 - Fotomatic/Techni-X filter - Dupe L2
L3 - Paint Engine/Poster effect - Soft Light
Impressionist/Chalk - Bright strokes on Black - Mode Normal 60%
Merged all layers.
PSP8 - Brush Preset/Coloured Noise - on bg only.

I had this photo on "hold" waiting for a good technique.

Used Trimoon's paper and AH brush, Stamp impressionist and a Photocopy overlay.

A very inventive combination of techniques from the lab of Dr. Rô. The way you handled the background sure makes those players stand out.

Having no idea who they are i have added a new background and some words!

Thought I would paint a mural on a wall.

Just trying to be dramatic I think. I wanted to take the focus away from the spectators.

I'm not sure how I expected this to turn out, but this probably isn't it. (If I had a hundred bucks for every time I've said that I'd be rich.)
