Thanks .I am also in the boat of people who like it more natural instead of pushed a lot. I voted reality as almost all of the time thats what I want. Of course like most creative arts there is always an exception (have not found one yet, but don't doubt it exists) where I may prefer something "overcooked". To each their own, I typically don't share my opinions on "overcooked" HDR as it sometimes wouldn't be constructive.
BTW OP very nice job on those.
Well, it looks like you are in one of the largest boats .
Regarding the constructive or destructive (?) opinions - I think that negative feedback (especially with explanations why) is better than no feedback and even better than "nice photo!" reply.
Do you mean that the photography is 100% subjective matter?I'm not voting.
It should reflect whatever the hell you want to create!
Overcooking B&W images only sounds like double impact on reality .I normally only "overcook" my b&w HDR images.
But each to their own. If you wanna overcook it, do it.
But the point of HDR is just that, to get High Dynamic Range.
Your opinion looks completely opposite to the jake337's one. Interesting .I really think it depends on what the customer wants. If they want me to 'overcook' the image, then so be it. Personally, I don't like it overcooked.
+1 :thumbup:Stylistic choices.
Done well, either style can be great.
Done poorly, either style can suck.
Well, according your opinion it depends on everything even more than I thought...I try to present MY vision , sure some won't like it ,some will like it , but in fear of the masses will keep quiet , and in some cases, the masses will love it and it will be crap with no solid artistic Merritt . Point is I think you should create the Art you like best ,present that style and hopefully gain some respect from the viewers . OR, you can follow the constantly changing popular style of the day ,and sometimes ,of the hour .
My answer to the question , Depends . I really think, A good number of the "HDR"s don't even need to be "HDR" in the first place
