THE HDR has brightened it too much, almost looks cheerful.

author says:

I agree with ya friiskiwi... but the only way this shot would have worked is with the HDR... I tried to keep it "realistic" and since it is in "paradise" thought the colors worked. I wanted the wall writing to show up. I will play with the brightness and resubmit if it works for me.

Hdr shots just look fake. They look like cgi or a video game not photography. I know people love the wow factor though. I respect what you are doing I just think they belong in there own category

avatar locksmagic

Not all HDR looks fake, there are many different ways to edit HDR. The entire concept of HDR is to bring a higher range to an image, if a photographer decides to overdo it or over saturate it thats completely up to them but it doesn't mean that all HDR has to look that way. So to say it looks fake and belongs in it's own category is kind of an ignorant statement. You could say that a particular shot looks fake but not that all HDR does. If you were to see an HDR image that was done the way HDR was originally intended you would not be able to tell just by looking at it, it would have to be pointed out to you.

the high res on this shot is something to be appreciative of. i dig the tagging on the wall...the things that people who came before you left as messages. "this is paradise" on one part and "death to tourists" on another...quite the contradiction. but.. nicely done. i keep sayin i'm going to try hdr just to say i did it. Good luck!

I guess hdr has it's place and this certainly is cool, it looks a bit too unreal to me. But this is just my opinion. gl to you.
