HDR flowers

1 & 3 don't do much for me, but 2 does look interesting. Can you post the original non HDR shot for comparison?

PS - Are these all pseudo HDRs from one RAW file?

I like #2 a lot. #2 does even look all that fake or cartoony. Looks sort of slightly departed from reality, but not in a way that's overly fake like a lot of HDRs.

And not that I have a problem with the more fake looking HDRs (hell, sometimes I like those a lot), but #1 and #3 just don't work for me. But I think that might have more to do with the way that the butterflies just sort of blend in with the background.

#2 looks like a painting to me, I love it.

Thanks guys, I agree with the third picture. I took it down because upon reflection, I realised it was complete crap. I'm surprised nobody likes the first one, though. I thought it was very good. Goes to show that the eye of the person who took the picture means nothing.

Here's the original shot, no processing except white balance and vibrance, what do you think of this one:

Is this better, or is it just the overall image that's crap?

love #2!

2 is awsome compare to the original I think the HDR did the picture and flower some major justice!

Yup, it works much better in HDR. Gets washed out in a single exposure (if you also want the leaves in the bg). Good stuff!

I like them all. 1 and 3 have a nice dreamy quality. Can you fix the 2nd one in curves? 1 and 3 must have been with a single image??
