1jpg / multi exposure 'HDR'

[witharebelyell]

was bored tonight

Not a HUGE fan of 1 photo / mulitple exposure .jpg HDRs
This is not really showing off the HDRy aspect of the picture...
I just am looking for feedback if we like the processed photo better than original... (even though I didn't do much to edit the original exposure wise etc...)
Thoughts on this processing are welcome

The process gives the face more age and character.

While interesting I think you lost to much color, the brick looks flat to me now. I like the look of 2 but with more red as in #1

I kinda purposely killed the 2nd photos color a bit to make it a bit "dirtier" as if it was a realistic picture from that era... technically it should be b/w then...
I think what I don't like about it is the dudes face... I may play with it a bit more...
I didnt think it was a bad result from 1 jpg tho
+1.5, 1, 0, -1, -1.5

I think the second is fantastic.

Reminds me of Kill Bill (David Caradine)

I like it, nothing wrong with it.
