Photos [Photo] HDR Reflection

I thought this turned out nicely with a little HDR work. Comments pleaseeeee!

 

It has come out very well. Doesn't mean it doesn't freak me out, though. That tunnel should be dark!

 

Hrmm... well here's how the non-HDR version came out (at 0EV of course)

 

i prefer that one!

 

Pretty photo, though to be honest with the rendering you've done on the water it just doesn't look real, water simply doesn't reflect colours that vidily, not unless it's radioactive and glowing. Structurly though it's a lovely pic!

 

I like the HDR version, but I'd probably take down the saturation a little bit and boost the contrast. Still, it is a very accomplished shot.

 

Nicely composed shot although i agree with Fod and prefer the original as to me it has more depth.

 

Thanks Nexxo, it turned out a bit nicer:

 

That looks awesome.

how do you do that??

Looks like there are clouds in the water but in the sky there are none.

 

That's the bottom of the "lake" Ramble.

 

looks like Technicolor. old-gonewiththewind-school.

 

Looks ace TekMonkey.
Though, I'd take a circular brush and darken the tunnel a tad.

 

Dunno why, but it reminds me of the bit on HL2 where Gordon (you) are on the boat thing...


Not sure about this pic. Without the HDR its just a photo of a tunnel. It's like night shots.... you gotta ask yourself the question.. if it was daytime, would it be interesting? Same here... no HDR would it be interesting?

 

Well I did post the non-HDR version further up this thread... so you tell me.
