My First HDR

[AaronTM]

Today I realized that my Kodak Z1012 IS can do exposure bracketing. So I went outside @ lunch and took a shot of a photo on my patio. I then processed it in Photomatrix. Please let me know what you think.

I think it's beautiful. I love the way the flower just pops.

IMO, it seems like some of the detail was lost, like the reds/pinks are blown out too much or something...

It's like you took a picture of a plant after a nuclear blast. The greens are really nice, but the red/pink is glowing. If that's what you were wanting, then you hit it. IMHO, it looks really unnatural and thus I find it distracting.

The second one looks much more realistic and maintains the delicate detail in the petals. Nicely done.
