First HDR shots

[kristo]

Hi all, new to all this, i have looked it up on the net and thought Id give them a go. Im quite happy with these but Im aware nothing is perfect and would like any comments....

Thanks

I think the last one is particularly bad as it very 'Dave Hill' but done with an old poor quality image that I liked......

You need to open up the "View all sizes" tab. And link to one of those pics instead of the original.

oh i will add that the composition of the photo had absolutely nothing to with this, i purely wanted a quick shot I could play with to trial the technique

I dont know alot about the HDR effect, just if I like it or not. 1 and 3 I think are the best and I do like because they have a focal point and a simple theme.
#2 seems to be cluttered, I dont hate it just not sold on the composition. I dont know if the cars, buildings, road, tree, power lines or the fence are your focal point. Its probably just me.
The effect seems right to me in all shots.

i think i wrote the above line just as you posted that so like you pointed out...there was no composition. I will soon be doing something alot more thought out and hopefully Ill nail it! thanks a lot

Definately 1 and 3 are great. I actually like the effect the noise has in the third shot.

Something about the 2nd one doesn't work for me, a bit dull in the colors possibly but can't pinpoint it.
