Found this cool sculpture at a local office building in Houston. Reminds me of Stargate. Minimal processing in Photomatix Pro. Most processing done in Perfect Effects in Photo Suite 6.

Had to make do with what I had...battery park, as close as it is to the statue is still quite far and the plane was at least 1500 feet up. The shots I was able to get of just the plane with the zoom lens came out much more detailed. I appreciate the comment though.

Two from my weekend trip to DC

I guess the question has to be asked, just what are you wanting to show in these images? I'm sure someone likes them, but to most, they are just not what we would put our names on. YMMV.

Good question but the answer won't matter with the harshness of your post...its cool if you wouldn't put your name on it, I will. I come here for advice with photomatix...I have seen far worse hdrs in this thread but thanks for comment.

This is a good shot. The things I see that needs to be fixed are....the vignette is too strong(could do w/o it) and the small halo at the top left of the building. Other than that,awesome photo mattpugs.

Regarding the recent comments and posts on C&C:

While this is an application thread, some of the problems with the photos are not just processing related. The actual photography part is the problem too. If people bracketed shoots with high dynamic range, better results will yield.

This is the HDR subforum. Plenty of these photos here in this thread are NOT HDR photos. There are photos processed with Photomatix, but that doesnt make it an HDR photo. HDR stands for high dynamic range. Some of the photos posted are just low dynamic range photos with some pretty colors and contrast. Not HDR. And some photos processed with Photomatix ends up with even less dynamic range than before process.

Like any type of photography, HDR scenes and compositions need to be studied and found. One cannot just run a photo through photomatix with hopes of a pretty photo.

my only complaint on this image is i left the aperture at 4.0 and forgot to raise to 11 or 16. i will retake it when i get the opportunity. i need to reprocess it as well to lose the halo around the front of the tractor. im very critical of my work and this one bugs me, but its still a great subject

OUCH Man, take it easy on a newbie. I just wanted have some fun with my camera, I know I'll not be able to compare with the experts on here. From now on I'll just comment on others' photos and only post photos that are worthy. That may take a while. :cry:
