My First HDR

My First HDR. C&C welcome.

I love the sky. The tilt is distracting (even if correct, looking at the structure on the left), and I'd love to see all of the tree at the right.

seem a tad dark on this monitor

I was going for a dark, brooding look. It is a little off anti-clockwise. I'll fix that.

I would brighten up the tree a bit so it stands out more. Otherwise the sky looks excellent.

[Nukey]

Looks good!

[canonloader]

A little dark, but I like the clouds.

[apsonline]

thanks guys. I'll brigthen up the tree a bit.

[ssabripo]

On this monitor at work the photo looks under exposed. The clouds have the dramatic HDR look, but everything else just looks dark.

I believe the purpose of HDR is to have an image that is evenly exposed throughout. I understand the processing of the image is up to the person, but I would of thought this image was posted in the wrong section if you had not stated, "HDR or going for the dark look".

I think the image would really be nice if it had more exposure. I would like to see it pp'ed again if you have time :cool:

so how would one make the tree come our with a nice HDR look, but still keep the dark theme?

Ummmmmm...

If you want a dark, brooding scene, why do an HDR?! Just crank up the contrast and play with curves.

Ah, I knew this shot was taken in Aust! Love the trees. Very dark and mysterious shot.

I really like this shot. You have a real nice mix between a realistic look and the cartoony HDR look. I think it's too dark overall though. You could do some overall curves or only curves on individual areas with a layer mask.
