    I like the idea and the setting, but the processing hurts my eyes. : (

    Howdy Don,

    I kind of like the original version better, but like your passion for
    HDR, I think in my mind the best HDR is the one that you really aren't sure
    it's HDR or can't tell.

    It looks like there's Moonshine for Refreshments!!! Should be a lively
    Quorum.
    Take care,

    Craig

    THanks for looking and commenting, Craig. Actually this is a single shot tonemap (Photomatix 4).

    Maybe it is over done a bit. Semi grunge. :D

    Ah the orig is more conducive to keeping my eyeballs in my head. Great scene. I came along a weird place in the woods myself today.

    Hi Don.....did you just happened to find that setting, or were you part of the quorum. My vote would be for the out of the camera shot. thumb.gif

    Hello, Azzaro. That is exactly as we found things walking a path at Broadmeadow Audubon in Worcester, MA.

    No idea who in the woods uses this meeting place. Maybe the foxes. headscratch.gif

    Sorry, my misread. There are lots of Audubons in MA. We like going over the boarder to Andres Institute of Art, though, too! :Dthumb.gif

    Reminds me of --
    "Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it."
    ~Michelangelo

    modified apropos:

    ~Mr Chainsaw

    I prefer the unprocessed. Maybe somewhere between the two?
