Discovered Photomatrix pro the other day and been experimenting with the over the top HDR effect.  Original (No HDR, just played with light levels in LR)...

I find #1 visually disgusting while #2 is a great shot! HDR is an excellent choice if you know how to use it and can coax enough detail out without overdoing things. That didn't happen here.

Titus213 Cream of the Crop  More info | Dec 06, 2011 14:40 | #13 The concept of HDR is good - most executions are way over the top. If you want to extend the dynamic range I would think bracketed shots and Enfuse or even HDR Pro can do that quite well. Dave
