I am not qualified to comment on HDR, but these look ok to me. You are allowed 4 photos in each post...and one post per day.

I think the HDR is more distracting than anything else. The top one seems to suffer from haloeing, the bottom one is probably way flatter and more saturated than the original image.

What do you want to gain by using HDR? Do you want to capture a realistic image whose dynamic range surpassed that of your camera's sensor? Or do you want to use it as some cartoonish effect?

What software are you using for those images?

I like the effects in the second shot. Looks great

@leonaashlee : Thanks you ! will try to do it better !
@sybren : Actually, before doing HDR, I didn't know what image will be, yes , sure, I am trying to learn, to find some thing change and then, it was not real, not better than original one , but in difference taste....
I used Lightroom + Protomatrix + Turbo Photo ...I don't know Photoshop .
Could you please tell me your opinion : What do people use HDR for in normally ?

Thanks for your comments .

I like HDR a lot, its up to u the effect u want to create, even if it is realistic or not... I've seen Amazing Unreal HDR, And very realistic, and in both cases u can find very good work, i like most ur second, looks like a paint!

I can't speak for others; I use HDR to capture an image that would be otherwise impossible, because the scene has a too large dynamic range. Here is an example:



This photo I took as HDR because in a single exposure, either half the image would be over-exposed or under-exposed. Combining several exposures into one photo allowed me to capture the entire image as it actually was at that time.

I used Hugin to create this HDR photo. As you can see the result still looks quite natural.

Photography like any other art is all about what YOU are wanting out of it, but also, you want people to see the wow that you see, if you don't see a wow, chances are people won't see a wow either. And like any other art, practice makes perfect, you'll discover what you like and what you don't and what makes you unique at what you do.
