This would be great if the filter weren't so strong--it looks a little tacky. Try to use the original, or at least a less edited version
the idea is great though! very strong message!

I doubt a "filter" was used. This is a classic example of HDR. There are many kinds of HDR. I like it. I think it fits the abandoned building.

yep, have to agree with you there Capt'............

I think it is a bit too much too. I would tone it down just a hair.

author says:

Ok not trying to argue here (everyone is entitled to their own opinions) but what do you feel about this shot is overdone. What exactly are you suggesting that i tone down?

the hdr

author says:

Lol thank you dear but what about the HDR? The contrast, clarity, vibrancy, fill light? HDR isn't something that can just be turned up or down each level is adjusted individually. I do value your opinion but I need to know what to fix

avatar adeincyprus

I agree..............if you have an issue with a shot, then you need to clarify what needs to be fixed............as you say, hdr is a complicated procedure...........there are many different facets that have to be taken into consideration

k5683 says:

well, because I'm not an expert at the lighting/shadows/highlights of things it is really hard for me to say exactly what doesn't look right about this. As a whole, I thought that maybe there was too much ghosting but it isn't that because there isn't any that I can see in the HR. I'm thinking that maybe it might be that the highlights are too bright for *lowlights*? (who knows what you call them The dark and the light of the picture has too much difference, they are on too far of a spectrum. GRRRRR, I don't know how to explain it...sorry

I think I know who this is now though because of the calm reply

author says:

I think I agree the contrast is a bit high

the contrast is WAY to high. I rarely ever like HDR because of how tacky it looks and how over used it is. The detail of the room is enhanced by it, but the highlights int the window are blown out by the increase of contrast. You gain and loose detail in this photo. I applaud you for using true HDR , and I agree that it looks best on abandoned buildings, but the natural highlights in the photo due to direct sunlight are way over done due to the increased contrast form the HDR. If the photo was taken on a cloudy day the contrast wouldn't be a problem, but you need to play around with your curve
