I wanted the clouds, and got em that day.. I also wanted the dark/ eerie feeling HDR image. Let's hear what y'all have to say~

Its got a sort of metal feel to it, which is suitable and nice..

Could be just me, but it looks a little underexposed IMHO.

+ (again it's MHO) I'd prefer to see the lake behind the bike more than the cement.

Cool location and idea for an HDR.

I like the composition. The slight desaturation works pretty well in this case, like Ninja said, it gives the photo a "metal-tone".

Just feels a little unbalanced though. Seems like there is a bit too much space around and the subject isn't isolated very well. But that's just my opinion, I still like this shot.

Understandable but I've seen other HDR's and wanted as much clouds as possible, lol... and for some reason I like to put a bunch of space in front of some of the objects I shoot. I'm weird but I'll learn eventually. Thanks for your input!

Love the feel of your pic...but sorry, don't like the composition.
Since that is one puppy-of-a-bike, I would have gone in much closer, maybe with an UWA lens to distort the nose-section a little/lot. And then done all your HDR twiddling.
And yeah, I think ninja is right. More lake, less concrete/white lines would help, too.

Try it again and re-post!

We'll all be drooling over the bike in the meantime.........yours???
:D

Sorry here's about the best photo of my bike that I have at the moment.. The Kawi is a friend's. Yeah thanks for the input I'll be sure to mess around more with HDR imaging, but just as a side project; my main focus is living beings :)

Yup, I also like the way it came out. You can always keep experimenting, but for this photo, I think it looks very nice.

Cousin? Back from rehab?


Looking at the picture again. I'd suggest a step forward or perhaps a step back and a zoom in, to get more of the bike in the frame. It looks a bit lost in the expanse of grey. :)

Good shot, but the black point looks a little high. I think you'd have a better shot if you lowered it slightly and reprocessed.

Can't get the color right as my monitor isn't calibrated, and isn't worth being calibrated as it's an Emprex :(

With the hdr look we run the risk of losing "punch" this imho loses a little because of the strong processing. It's a good shot.

Looks nice to me. :) I would agree that it is a little dark though. :)
