Although these filters are marketed towards portraits, I decided to use an image I captured at the Byodo-In Temple in Kaneohe, Hawaii for this review. The reason being, I usually try to avoid strong filters for portrait work. 

The photo to the left is unedited and unfiltered in anyway. I applied different filters from the Strike A Pose Workflow to this image and have provided to results below. No additional edits have been done to the images; only the filter has been applied. The names of the filters will be listed above the examples. The photo to the left will be the unedited/unfiltered photo to the left now. The photo on the right will have a filter applied.

For the most part, I found the filters to be too harsh. I received the Lightroom version of the filters and think I'd be happier if I decided to go with the Photoshop version because handling the intensity of the filters would have been easier. Of the filters shown above, Glow Baby Glow probably did more of what I would have personally edited the image too. With that being said though, I do enjoy the colors produced with the Kaleidoscope filter and the contrast with the High Key Sunset filter. The effects are just a little too harsh, as I said before. Dream A Little Dream is an excellent example of the effects being applied too intensely for the image. The blur and desaturation of the edges of the image just aren't flattering and I can't really think of an image that would improve with its use but you never know. The filters I enjoyed the most have been displayed below with their filter names. I could see myself using these filters in the future for portrait, landscape, property and commercial work in the future.
