Park-HDR. Normal or Contrast?

[Parker219]

I keep going back and forth as to if I like the normal version or the version with more contrast.

What do you guys think? Should I adjust any of the sliders IYO? Tone down the orange? Any comments welcomed.

In general, I like the photo.

Maybe find a happy medium, contrast-wise, between the two?

Just a thought, what if you HDR'd those two images. Wouldn't that be the medium that Steve5D is referring to?

 

[Parker219]

Good point, I could try that. You think this photo would have worked better 15 minutes sooner with the sun being blocked more by the tree?

Bump for the night crowd!
