Very nice shots! I need to revisit Photomatix. Thanks for inspiring me!

On these did you use three different exposures or just one pic? I love the first pic, great job

I used the same photo for them, just edited each of them how I normally would and then made 5 versions of them by just changing the exposures, then I obvi tone mapped in photomatrix and I redited the final pic in elements 7 and lightroom2 but I think I could get away with just using lightroom2 from now on. Im deff. going to start doing more of these once I buy the actual program to get rid of the water marks because with photos like these I couldn't set of flashes for fill light because it was a competition so you never know who is going to do what and with HDR I don't have as much harsh shadows anymore.

In case anyone wanted to see the originals

I forgot to say if anyone has tips on how to make those HDR type photos where the person styas a little more realilistic I'd like like some tips, I tried just isolatingthe background and doing it that way but it didn't work in the photo I was doing it too, maybe I just did it wrong.
