One of many modes of transportation in the village in Greenfield MI (Henry Ford Museum). A great place for viewing Americana.

The process overall is nice and suits the main subject but the sky and the trees are too far off true colour. Needs mixing with one one of the original shots to reduce saturation. Composition wise it may work with a chunk of wheel cut out of the shot but not with half a guy walking out of the frame. That for sure needs cropping out. You got some nice detail in the vehicle.
How long was it before the "Fashion Police" turned up to escort that guy away for wearing such a hideous shirt? Or was it a bet he made with his buddies?

I echo Billyspad in his comments but I would also add a little. The very nature of HDR is that you tend to lose contrast. In With your '0' shot, even though the shadows lacked detail, there was a reasonable degree of separation between the vehicle and the background. But by opening up the shadows and thereby reducing the contrast, the car has tended to merge into the background, it has lost some of its presence. To resolve this I would suggest that you darken off some of the shadow areas but not to the extent of losing detail. Several ways of doing this. You can use the burn tool, you can blend in some of the '-2' shot or the way I prefer because it eliminates any alignment problems, is to duplicate the layer, boost the contrast quite high , apply a layer mask set to 'hide all' and then paint in the contrast in the shadow areas using a relatively soft brush.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. I am going to give it a try and see the results. I will probably follow the 3rd suggestion.

I actually have or had a cropped picture taking the guy out, however I felt that the guy walking off gave the bus some context.
Both you and Peter (below) have come up with the same issue on the background. Will try some experimentation sometime this week.
Thanks

I take loads of HDR car shots and would love to have found this beauty. Next time take a pile more bracketed sets. With a static vehicle in good light I take 2 bracketed sets of 3 exposures at f8 and f11 and then try 5 exposures at same f stops. Then move to different place and do it again. So thats 30 plus exposures which takes around 30 secs or so and then you have. bags of material to choose the best set from. Digital film is cheap!
Half a guy composition wise is a no no I reckon and with that shirt deserves no place in a decent photo lol
