My preferences are
1. The pics are too warm for me. May look nice on screen and will definitely look very different on print. Have u try printing it out at a lab.
2. Not necessary to soften the silat shot. In silat, the importance is the action. The silat shot dun seem to bring out the essence of the action. However, since u are using a compact cam, I can understand the difficulties of getting the correct shot:sweat:
