WOW! I opened this photo and it felt ALIVE to me! You can just feel the energy in that room with all the dancing going on. I love the blur, it really works well in this. The blur zooms your eye right to the focal point (bride and groom)

very nice!

I had to come comment here too. I am like Karmat in that I dont care too much for HDR, but I dont totally hate it.

I think your pepper though is a great example of using HDR in a good way. The textures really stand out in the pepper. I love the way the light reflects off the folds in it and really makes it look almost 3D. The stem at the top looks like a witch's hat to me! I think that the blue background really makes the pepper POP.

The pepper seems to flow through the shot, and makes me wonder where the stem goes too, and how long the pepper is.

I think this is a very powerful and moving image. I think even to non-christians, this image would be powerful.

I think the angle of the cross gives it more of a dramatic effect and leads your eye right to the crown of thorns.

very beautiful picture. I think the lighting is great, there are no hotspots on her face. The b/w conversion is good, I like the contrast. The eyes are bright and the smile is great. Good job.

How do I create an image that is DNMC? 42. Duh.
