In the film era it took time, chemistry, and paper to test the differences between all of the variables that could effect an image. Today, that same type of investigation could take less than three minutes and it would not involve chemistry and paper. Why not just shoot some photos and compare the differences on your computer screen? Take photos! Make images! Worry not about jpeg and RAW.

Using the camera in portrait format would remove all of the distracting elements.
I like the HDR; however, the bright highlight in the upper left corner is distracting in both images.
I like the black and white image. Removing the color puts the emphasis on the age and character of the subject. I think that the textures are more interesting in black and white. The crop really helped too.

The surface of the shell is very rich with color, and the sand has a nice sparkle in the background.
I've used Helicon Remote with a MacBook laptop, Canon 5DMII, and 50mm macro. Sometimes I get the same kind of artifact that I see in your image, along the back edge of the shell. I think that it is caused by to large a step distance between frames. There is also some banding in the image.
Do you also use a StackShot rail?
Well done! No. 3 & No. 6 are my favorites. No. 6 reminds me of a scene
from the film "Kansas."
I agree that all to often acronyms are used to decrease the number of key strokes required for an explanation. It must
be especially frustrating for those who are new to photography.
Then too, there are those who prefer to speak in letters instead of words.
When the first edition Charlie went on sale in Paris after the attack, people were standing in line to purchase a copy. The people in line were young and old alike, well dressed, and the appeared to be normal decent people. Have ethnocentricity and religious intolerance distorted your world view?
I like the content of both of the images, although they seem a bit dark and flat. Shooting panoramic images in portrait format will provide more sky and foreground, increasing the cropping options.
Ive been enjoying your images of the many vehicles of the Philippines. The HDR treatments are very well done. Have you ever considered using an f/stop which would blur a busy or cluttered background? My guess is that at f/4 or, f/2.8 you could control the depth of field and emphasize the subject. Keep up the good work.
Try setting the camera to monochrome. Or, desaturate the image in post processing.
