CXS Train

[vipgraphx]

Great edit Bynx - I like how the sky pushes the train more as the subject. There is a better difference in blues between the sky and the train.

Nice!!

I know that some will say that this image is overcooked, which it is. Even though it is overcooked I think that your processing is spot on for this subject. I think it gives the train character and it looks good. Your composition is pretty good IMO.

What is so overcooked about this image? I don't understand

I don't think it's over anything! It's nice, good HDR...keep up the sick work friend!

Personal attacks on someones method is just outright silly and those people know who they are. They are the ones that think they are gods gift to photography and close minded. Forget those chumps and do what you do for you bro!!!!

...ignore the haters.

Let's lighten up a bit shall we? There's no hate, personal attack or anything of that nature in the thread. There are a number of valid opinions expressed and explanations behind those opinions.

I spoke my mind and I think it needed to be said. There are many HDR threads were feedback is not useful and attracts the original poster.My point I am trying to make is simple one take feedback with a grain of salt when needed and two for the folks that do not like HDR don't bother posting and looking if you have nothing that will benifiitial to the original poster.

Defenetly the sky is what was throwing the image off... I like the gritty feel of the train (it goes well with the subject), but the sky looked too unrealistic, and that jumped out. With this type of look, you are forced to focus on the train and not the sky or trees, which I think is what you want. As for the comments, take it with a grain of salt. I have found some users here extremely good at improving my skills (some of them have posted in this very thread), while others frown on everything (even improving a shot on Photoshop) because they do not see it as a pure way to take pictures. My advice (as someone already posted above), take the comments you feel will help you improve the type of photography YOU want to pursue, ignore the rest.

Bynx's edit really does improve the image which I thought was pretty good already if not just a wee bit too contrasty. The elimiantion of distracting elements puts the train right where it should be, the center of attention. Nice!
