  1. This reminds me of an old theater in Pacific Grove in California that is still operating and was just remodeled. This is a very nice architectural image. I think the biggest thing about your HDR images is that you pick your subjects very well and of course you know how to use the technique well.
  2. What a great image. You really have a knack for the HDR effect. This is a wonderful house and a beautiful location. The sky is perfect too. I imagine with the wide dynamic range, this is a perfect scene to utilize this technique.

    I usually don't go for this style shot with the post-processing here. In this case I think this is a great subject for this style. I like the contrast and saturation. A very artistic image. Good use of HDR. I think this technique is often overused but you've used it well here. Great lighting as well.
  3. For such an over-photographed location, you've done a very good job. Very good tonal range and the lighting worked well (maybe taking some patience on your part). Mr. Adams would be proud. I have some shots of other locations with a similar feel and I am drawn to this look. Very beautiful shot with a bit of originality to it, which is tough to do with this old rock.

    I don't know if it's the contrast or saturation bumped up too much. I think it's your intention to have this look but I personally don't care for it. I'm getting tired of all the over photoshoped images out there. This is just my opinion, the final result is all about your personal taste and what you like. Keep it up.
  4. Great colors. I like the contrast of the deep blue/black of the water against the brown feathers. Very good clarity and DOF. I was just explaining to someone the difference you get with an L series lens. I was looking for an example and the thumbnail looked very sharp so I took a look and what do ya know, an L series. Very nice picture. I also like the line of ducks, it really leads the eye through the shot.

    a bit much on the contrast for my taste but a great expression. Might look interesting with contrast only applied to the model and less so to the background

    Beth, very nice. This caught my eye. The flower is very well caught (if maybe slightly over-sharpend for my taste) and the post-processing is done well

    I like the framing composition here. I think the fact that you can't see her face is critical, it adds to the mystery. Also I can't help but wonder what was in the suitcase. Has she been thrown out to the streets? What happened to her clothes? I also like the dark feel to the shot. Nicely done.
  5. Michael, you caught the lighting in this shot perfectly. The way it is cast down on the chair really draws my focus into the chair. I wonder of the history this chair has and how many times it was used. This is a wonderful picture with great texture and really leaves a mystery of a story behind. I love the old abandoned subjects. I have been shooting on an old abandoned army base near my home and there are endless subjects which are quickly disappearing.

    Bernard, the most important thing is that you like the way it looks. It's all a matter of opinion. I do like the other example you sent me to, and yes it is more subtle. I have found that HDR from one exposure tends to give more subtle results.
