I like this shot, and I do like this kind of effect sometimes. The problem is that, too often, everything starts to look like this. On Mon, Jul 18, 2011 at 8:44 PM, Mark Cassino markcass...@ymail.com wrote: Cool shot, and some truck. Absent manipulation it must have about 2 feet of ground

The kiss/truck shot just makes me gag. Way too far over the top for me. The unmapped one below has a lot of clarity but is pretty boring. ann On 7/18/2011 12:19, William Robb wrote: On 18/07/2011 9:43 AM, Darren Addy wrote: I hate overcooked. This one is pretty darn good except for

I like it too. The colors appeal to me. Tim posted this on Google+ as well, and it was interesting to read the many, many responses to it, and I'd say the shot was very well received. I'm not anti-HDR; I even bought a book on it, and I like a lot of the stuff in the book. Very well done.
