I am not a cartoonist, so I couldn't do this!

....and your avatar is ?????

Oh, I get it, be creative with HDR or Tonemapped software but don't be overly creative where someone might figure out that you manipulated the photograph. Is it like telling a lie v/s a white lie? Hmmm

Let's be clear that I really do respect your opinion. I would like to see some of your work. I'm sure I could learn from you.

Everyone has a choice of what they want to share ... HDR or iPhone Photo look.

My Avatar is a Porcupine fish shot I took in Mexico.. and for a comical aspect, I did saturate it a bit. Are your images meant to be comical?

My flickr is in my sig.. have fun...

Do you even know the difference between HDR and tone mapping?

For those out there who would like to make a few $$$ with their photography, TONEMAPPED photography can open some doors if you're willing to do it. Good Luck!

I have morals.

So much for your morals....that wasn't exactly my quote. Now was it? Cmon man, you can do better than that. Show me some of your work.

Are we having fun yet?

I viewed your portfolio and saw your work. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

I just honestly like the original unprocessed photo you posted about better. And if you post pictures up here you're going to get comments and you're not going to like all of them. Tis the way of the forum, however I've found that the critiques I've gotten have made me a better photographer. No one is going to tell you that you must go and change your style or all your pictures will be bad. They are saying what they would have done differently. The "HDR or iPhone photo" quote doesn't impress me though. I can easily make a photo I took with my iPhone have the halo effect and look a lot like the original photo you posted. I think my iPhone can even do HDR.

I think he's taken the criticism quite well. It's the sarcasm that he volleyed back over the net.

Thanks!

I like the left handed camera on your website... what is that exactly?

My morals go out the door when someone waves money in my face.

That didn't sound as bad in my head

I like the extra contrast in the prop, but some of the other bits are just too vivid for me. The cooling fins on the cylinders, for instance, take on a real moire look in the processed photo. Were you able to line up a view of this plane with a cleaner background? I think that might help a bit, too.

 

[Braineack]

I prefer the original. It only needed a little post, the composition is interesting. Maybe you over cooked it to hide the soft focus?

Picked it up at a yard sale. No box, no documentation....doesn't take pictures very well....actually not at all. :mrgreen:

These aren't exactly my favorite sort of HDR, but aside from my personal prejudices, I see two ways to improve the image.
1. Reduce the haloing
2. Run it through unsharp mask to reduce some of that HDR softness. I do unsharp mask on almost all of my HDRs, just because there seems to always be a bit of softness from the process.

Not a terrible image, but it could be made better.

 

[amolitor]

You do realize that steps #1 and #2 may be read as 'reduce the halos.. and then put them back'?

 

[Braineack]

I like the detail that was pulled out of the cooling fins and wood grain, but it could have been done in a more tasteful way.

...as far as these tonemapped images making money, so did Magic Eye posters in the early 90s.
