Here are a couple of pictures from my photoshoot today, 1970 Honda's on a airport runway. C&C please!!

I am still learning, so I don't know how to properly critique as others do so well here. But I will say a couple of things.

In the first photo, I find the halo's around the bar ends and mirrors distracting. I would love to see this shot without the HDR like treatment.

In the second photo, I dig the aged / weathered treatment applied. Looks like it was a found picture from someones old shoe box

I would love to see more detail of the bikes though in both pictures.

Thank you! Yea I agree the halo is starting to bother me as well however the intent of that picture was to get the HDR look... anyone know how to minimize the halo?
The owner of the bikes was thrilled w/ the second photo as well. Thanks for your C&C!!

would maybe a little smudging do the trick?

I don´t know what you did to get the halos there in the first place, but something is enhancing local contrast and creating them. If you used HIRALOAM sharpening, try lowering the radius, then the amount if that doesn´t help.

if thats the case then just up'ing the contrast after doing the p.p technique is prob. what caused it. Thanks!
