*sigh* dude...your better than this.

look at the way the front wheel is turned, the windows being down, the for sale sign, the distracting red part inside the cab, the reflections in the windshield....and its in a driveway!

im not a fan of HDR but regardless the key to any technique of photography is you have to start with a good image. HDR, see through hood shots or any other "style" or "technique" doesnt MAKE a photo. it can ADD to it but it wont MAKE it.

Its a lot better than your last edit. But as chad said there are distractions. I'd like to see the car against a nice sunset for HDR shot.

lol, its not a F. i downloaded the trial verson of this program to see if i like it and it watermarks your picture with photomatix 3 times and i took it out and missed some of the "P".

getting there. i am not a fan of hdr unless it is one that you can not tell it is a HDR. the picture below is about 20 exposures. i first took them into Photomatix i belive that is how you spell it. then after that i took the tif file into PS and got this picture

This is goooooood
you can still tell a bit of tone mapping remains around the rear bumper between the exausts, and around the left tailight area, but this is a great picture and almost perfect example of HDR used in a NON destructive way

Boostedb16- i dont even know why you are resorting to HDR. your shots in the past have always been super easy on the eyes and clear. im not liking this change, go back to your old ways!

hatas gonna hate :ninja:thanks. i think, i cant tell if that was sarcastic or not lol. either way i will see you tomorrow. anyways a guy on nikoncafe gave me some starting settings to go by so it would not have a cartoon look to it, which i kinda like in some picture's. here it is again after these settings.

That last one looks a lot better to me. It brings out detail in the truck. And if you are experimenting with a picture, who cares what background or other minor mishaps the image has. No offense to anybody, but this section obviously needs an approval meter so that people can rate the pics posted. Hell I know that some of the ones I posted last time looked like shit compared to some I have done recently. But that is all trial and error to get better at what you do. I like to see people trying different styles of post processing. If they didn't, all the pics would look the same. :)

Lol @ this thread. I think the 2nd attempt is a lot better, but why try on this photo. i would've tried on something more appealing.

read post above your's.

Yeah, I lol'd at the thread in it's entirety, meaning i read that post, but I assumed that you could speak for yourself, so I directed the question at you.
BTW: Yours is possessive, your's means "your is".
