Express yourself, Cosplay shots

( is this the wright forum for this?! because it doesnt really fit "human figure" )

I'm kinda into anime and manga and I know its kind of a taboo in the art world but I love it xD

I love beatifull cosplays and I photograph them all the time, ive got some examples of some pretty dutch cosplayers, they are photoshopped but I want to mimic the anime perfection and use of bright colours and contrasts:

( the colours are not what they should be.. inet explorer messes them up a bit, any suggestions? )

I like the first one a lot, nice pose an great colors :)

Regadring the colors not being the same - I know that problem too well :D In my case, I found out that the pictures I've worked with are in RGB color profile and I forgot to convert them to SRGB. When I saved them for the net, they didn't look like they should as well - they were paler and lacking contrast. Since I'm converting to sRGB before saving for the web, they look the same.
Maybe that helps?

It's true what Nike says.
The first one is in sRGB, the second and third is in Adobe RGB.
Here is some info on color spaces: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/color-spaces.htm
