Time Passed

Here is another attempt at HDR. I personaly like it, but want feedback on if it is to over done.

I don't feel that it's overdone at all. Only thing I notice is a very slight green cast to everything. Makes it seem like everything was under a leafy canopy from the trees, which may very well be the case. I actually think it's a nice effect.

Also, I love how sharp the car is throughout it's depth.

I think you did a really good job on the car. Have you considered placing the normally exposed image over the tonemapped image and masking off the car to get rid of all the microcontrast in the leaves? I always run into problems like this with leaves they always tend to look fake unless you just blend a single exposer into the scene. I think you made a good choice in the focal length and angle you shot the car at. I just don't care for the green trees in the background much they draw to much attention away from the car.

Nice Work!

wonderful composition, curtis....great angle on your subject.....

i really like what hdr does for this.....but, like murt said.....that ground cover is competing for attention.....

Thanks for the feedback. I will try and tone down the grass and trees a bit.

I think if you just reduced the saturation of the green channel, you'd be there.

This is great. It may be interesting to turn it into a lomo picture (http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/?s=lomo). If you could bring out the rusty color...

how many exposures did you do?

Great job. Personally I like the trees and leaves. I would lighted it up some though.

Maybe something like this. I masked out the truck and changed exposure and saturation.

What a great angle! I really like this shot, it's so crisp and clean. I wouldn't change a thing.
