I know they aren't great but practice makes perfect. C&C is always welcome.

No way these are great. I'm not an expert on HDR, I mean I know the whole Halo rule I guess you can call it but I don't even see any. Great shots.

I love the photos and the editing. ONLY thing that bothers me, in photo 2 the tip of the roof is cut off slightly. I just would have cropped it slightly different.

Too extreme imo. The sky looks horrible and halos around everything.

Toned down might fit the images better.

Crap, didn't even notice that. Good catch and I will watch for that next time. unfortunately, that one is not cropped so I can't really fix it unless cropping more of the roof would make it less distracting?

Thanks for the compliments guys/ gals.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out how to get the sky any better in the last two shots. I played around with the setting both on the camera and for PP but couldn't get anything to work that left the foreground properly exposed too.

As for the halos, I was trying to be careful about not getting the halo effect and I don't see any really noticeable ones, what pictures/ areas are you seeing it the most? Maybe I can try and fix it.

I would crop off the street on #1 and clone out the truck.

I think you missed the right composition of the other two. In #2 The right edge should be cropped out and I think the left edge should have had more added. #3 needs more on the entire perimeter especially the right. BUT there is a winning crop to be had in the material that there is to play with.

I'm not normally a fan of the "over the top" HDR, but for some reason, these work. Not sure why, but I like them. I think the processing compliments the subject matter.

Are you blind? I see 3, maybe 4 slight halos. I like the shots and PP. Good job.

I really like the first one. It may be alittle "extreme" or overdone but that also gives it a cool sort of creapy effect.

 

[GooniesNeverSayDie11]

I don't mean any offense, but I think these are way overcooked. The last one would be decent if it wasn't for the sky looking the way it does.

I like #3. I couldn't stop looking at it.
