Macro Feather Droplet HDR. :o

"A drop of lizard tears,
Onto a ravens black wing,
Read the enchantment,
let me hear you sing.
See into the future,
where the highlights bling.
I see the sadness,
of a lost wedding ring."



50mm 1.8 with 1,2+3 extension tubes, handheld.
iso 1600, 3 exposures (-1ev, 0 ,+1ev)
Merged in photoshop, adjustment layers added (contrast, curves, levels)

This is a single image from the 3 HDR's, the -1ev.

Not sure HDR works here. I find the grey areas without any details at the bottom left of the droplet disturbing. They look like burnt out highlights and I think they would look more natural in white.

Thanks for your input
That area looks awful on all three of the single images, even the more under exposed one.
It didn't have to be a HDR, but I thought it would be fun and I prefer the HDR
It's not much different from the underexposed image
Infact I'll post that for comparision
