I have seen some stunning images of rolled hay and have always wanted to photograph them but every time I have seen them I didn't have my camera with me... that was, until today. Both these photos are 3 bracketed images (-2,0-+2) processed with Nik's HDR Efex Pro 2. (Taken in Matunuck, Rhode Island.)
I am not sure which processing I like better. Would love some feedback.
So its not just me, I love rolled hay as well. Of the two I prefer the processing of the first as it is sharper, has better contrast in the foreground and to my eye the green of the grass at the front is more natural in tone than the second. The only processing tweek I would perhaps suggest is to drop the blacks back a little in your initial processing so that some detail could be recovered from the tree trunks.
