dabbling with hdr...

[bearly]

so i finally tried my hand at making some hdr images... i want to know if you guys think that they are overdone, and what you would change to make them better. I'm not really looking for input on the composition (though if you have something you'd like to say about that by all means feel free to say it), i'm more looking for what people think about the way they are processed. since i've been staring at them for a long time while editing them, i can't really tell anymore if they look ridiculously over-processed, or if it's reasonable and actually looks decent

thanks for your help

I think they're very well done, natural, and not overdone at all. I kind of get the appeal of the gritty grungy HDR look, but the ones that really hold my attention are the ones where it's hard to tell that it's HDR until you realize how much highlight and shadow detail there is.

Not too shabby...I think the processing on the second image is better than the first image. The range in the second has just the right amount of balance. The first one isn't too bad, especially with the window down on the end - it wasn't blown out too much despite the light coming in. The red lining along the right of the image is a bit too saturated, but all in all not too shabby.
