    Hey Henry, you’ve certainly picked some really high quality resources here!

    Although it looks really unnatural, my favourite has to be the Dramatic Gritty Effect. It shows just how different a photograph can look from shooting to post processing!

    With regards to using photogaphs to enhance web design though, I think the main aspects that should be looked at are the photograph’s colours and lighting. Everything else is just getting creative!
