Doesn't really look like an HDR, I think you could get the same image with a single exposure. And as far as the photo goes I don't really like the composition.

without you saying its an HDR image, i wouldnt have guessed. i think its pretty good and looks more realistic than a lot of HDRs ive seen, and tried to make myself. very nice work.

There are dark areas under the car and the lights are very bright yet both seem to have been captured reasonably well.

I always thought a well done HDR shouldn't look like one.
If it does, then it's either a deliberate attempt at a certain look or it's poorly done

hmmm. well, how can i improve the look of the picture. i know there is a lot going on, as i kind of have no choice with the car being without the motor, and cant really move it.

I thought i captured the shadows reasonably good, but eh...

you should have scooted the camera over a little to the right and got the ss in there

can we see the source images? also what program did you put it together in?

 

[GooberMT]

i have the source images on my memory card, that my dad has, and i used photomatix pro
