  Beautiful HDR examples! My favourite in the set is “The Lightness of Being” by Lee McGain. Thanks for sharing!

  In a world where HDR images can be out of control, these are all fantastic.

  Excellent Photos. I too am working on HDRs that aren't overdone. I think photographers or anyone, for that matter, who learns a new technique tends to take it to its extreme before honing it in. Here's the beginning of my Tutorial explaining HDR… tell me what you think. http://www.nakean.com/Nakeans_Photography/Blog/…

  Really cool shots :)

  It's good to mask certain areas in and out, as well as dodge and burn to make those dark areas lighter and those light areas a little bit darker rather than just putting the Strength and Saturation up to 100%. It's cool to use the 'unnatural' look as well as the natural look, it just depends on what you like :)

  I love HDR, what's not to like, the details of an image speaks to you… tells you stories… I saw a neat trick to recreate faux HDR in photoshop check it out you might find it useful http://prodigalconcepts.com/tutorials/8-easy-st…

  Very Pretty. I think HDR is an essential digital tool – one I’m trying to master at the moment – and looks a lot nicer when it’s not overdone.

  These examples, to the untrained eye, look just like well lit and well composed photos, which I think is what all HDR should aim for.

  I think that is the beauty of HDR … that it is a true form of photographic art.

  If you want realism then you can create it. If you want impressionist or romantic then you can create that too.

  Overdone? It’s all art ….

  Nice examples of well done HDR!

  I personally like HDR technique for it capability to create true tone pictures, similar to what human eye see.

  And its a big help when it’s comes to do professional work(mostly true tone and some times a little bit overdone).

  With time I found a way to improve this technique to obtain half true tone and half ultra contrast(overdone) pictures.

  And it has a big potential to be applied in creation of awesome MHDRi panoramic pictures.

  All bar one… Even at this size ‘Good Morning by Lutz-R. Frank’ is overworked. Too much haloing/edging.

    Otherwise all very nice indeed of course!
