This was a proof of concept shot, just to see if I could pull it off. It's the first time I've ever done HDR, nonetheless with a model.
I make no excuses for the photo, composition sucks, I blew the highlights at the end of the hallway, pose is blah...etc.
I only took three shots to do as HDR, I didn't want to waste time with it, just wanted to see if it'd work.
Other than the things I listed above, I'd like some feedback on the good, bad & ugly.

I guess my question is why would you do HDR for a model shoot? Under the normal lighting conditions you'd encounter, would you ever see enough dynamic range in exposures to require HDR?
Regarding your image, there's nothing that says to me it's an HDR image. If anything, I feel like you've lost detail in her clothing. Not sure if this is due to the HDR processing or not?
How did you do your merges? |

| Im not one to judge anyone seeing as my photots aren't spectacular, but I think the hdr process did affect the details in the models clothes. But I like her and hope to see more of her ; ) |

I did the merge with Merge to HDR in PS... first time I've used it.
Regarding the clothing - I'm thinking that might have something to do with the exposure on the model not changing during the three shots. She was lit by a strobe and I used shutter speed to change the exposure (which only affected ambient). That's my guess...
As to why... hmmmm, just wanted to .... LOL

| my gut reaction is that if i were to see it in a challenge, i would think it was a newer user that over-edited |

And thus the reason it's hidden in the workshop folder... LOL

| Leroy, not one of my favorites of yours. I have seen HDR portraits that work well, but there usually male and add character to the face |

I'm really thinking that the lack of change in exposure on the model affected detail.... it's the only thing I can think of...
It was an experiment... I'll admit I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to HDR.

can you show us the 'middle' exposure beside the HDR?

| Much prefer the original than the HDR shot, which introduces a certain "metallic" (for lack of a better word) look to her. |
