HDR (kind of)

[drafuul]

I've been working on my HDR method for a long time now. I do it much different that the norm and generally only use 3 images, but have come to really enjoy the result. I use 2 exposures and a sky from my library if needed. What do you think?

Here are the originals

And the finished result.

And one other done with the same method.

C&C always welcome.

Very nice compositing. The outcome works really well.

I like the way the foregrounds loo, very natural but with lots of detail. I was considering doing HDR by bracketing the foreground and using one exposure for the sky since I hate the way HDR makes skies look. how do you blend/paste the sky in? what is the best method?

I like both HDRs though I think it would have been interesting to see how the sky in the first one would have looked
