Challenge: HDR II (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Pentax K10D
Lens: Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 LD for Pentax
Date: Sep 11, 2009
Aperture: f/6.7
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/500
Galleries: Water, High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Date Uploaded: Sep 12, 2009

After hours of trying different editing and processing of true 3-shot HDR versions, I finally chose this one: this was the -1 1/2 EV shot edited in Topaz Adjust (HDR Medium setting) with lots of twiddling, dodging and burning, etc.

Moving birds are not an easy, nor feasible, subject for multiple image HDR blending.

I see some major effort here, but I feel the shot is seriously overdone. The water has crisp details, but the bird's body is soft looking. It seems out of place. There is also a heavily visible tilt to this that is easy to fix.

I'm not a fan of the sharpness at the background and the pp on the bird and foreground. I love the details on the foreground, the colors and light though.

I voe cranes, nice pic, processing has destroyed the detail of the bird though!
