Industrial Decay HDR - C&C please

[McNugget801]

Headed back up to this site for a second time here in the next few weeks and I wanted a bit of C&C on some on a few of the images from my first trip.

Thanks

I really like the second one. It's total chaos, but for some reason it works.

I gotta say... I actually like this, dont think it would have worked if it looked more realistic
Great execution
But the first one is too strong tbh.

These are very cool...I think they all work great with the editing you've done.

what does tbh mean, or is it a typo?

i agree this subject matter lends itself to "over the top" pp.

my vote is for number two as well

tbh = to be honest

I'm digging 2 and 3, great job.
HDR doesn't always work, but it certainly does here

I like 3 the most as it has that shoot that leads my eye straight to the awesome orangy thing.

Superb photos. The PP is probably too much for some people but I like it here.

If you are interested in UE there is a thread here with a whole bunch of great photos and some interesting links.

Here's one in case you don't know the site:

Please read forum section descriptions... this is NOT the C&C section.

Thanks for your understanding!

I'm not a huge fan of HDR, but these look really good to me, especially #3. I also like #2. In #1, there's really no subject, and no real focal point. You also have a very prominent feature almost in the exact center of the frame that just doesn't look too good to me.

Like I said, I usually don't like this type of processing, but you found the perfect subject for it.

This is when the over looked look works. Agreed with the second one, busy, but it works.

Love that truck in the foreground

Contrary to most of the opinions, I like 1 better than 2. I like the higher contrast monochromatic image. Back with most opinions I liked 3 best. All that said all three were as my title says a "great use of HDR". I have used it but think it must be used discriminately. You have!

I like these a lot! Great job. Post more after next trip!

I really like all three. This is a great application of the HDR technique. I'd guess that these shots are pretty bland as single shots.

Could you tell us a bit about your method esp the lighting on the shots?
