Playing with Photomatix

[rgregory1965]

still playing with the free version, will be ordering the serial this week

Please tell me what you think

First is the 3 exposure HDR and the second is the nornal exposure of the bracketed shots

Some might say it is over-processed, and that would be a matter of taste I guess. IMO, I think the processing works on this shot because of the old wood. You were also able to pull a lot of detail out of the tire and I can even see the stop sign outside perfectly, where in the normal version of course the sky is blow out.

If anything, I would dial done the saturation in wood on the ceiling, so it isnt so orange, but still has detail.

HDR is definitely a cool way to render this photo. I too would suggest dialing down the saturation overall and maybe the detail contrast. That will take away some of the ghosting that makes the picture a bit soft.

maybe sharpen a bit in Photomatix on in PS with "unsharp"

It's not too bad. I have seen tons of others that are overcooked. I would have to agree about pulling back the saturation a bit. It's worth a try. I like the HDR that is closer to what your eye sees and not cartoonish.
