As an HDR novice, I am not good enough to pass as a serious critic. But I am experienced enough to be wowed by your results. Nice work! I might try to dial back the intensity of the red just a tiny bit however. It certainly does pop ... but perhaps just a tad too much to look real. On the other hand, maybe it is just my monitor. The only other question I have regards the under-truck shadow cast on the tarmac. It seems to me to be slightly and unrealistically weak considering the intensity of the colors on the hood and the rest of the truck which imply super bright conditions - and which would characteristically cause deeper shadows on the roadway. I would suggest experimenting in an attempt to deepen them without deepening the shadows that show the underbody of the truck. The detail you have found under the fenders and frame are wonderful. Thanks for this terrific demo of what can be done with HDR. I am very impressed! Wow.

Folks, I've been experimenting and learning about using HDR techniques. When I first started out, my stuff was awful. Yes, it had that way over processed look. Over the weeks, I kept experimenting with settings and now have a technique which is getting closer to what I had in mind. I didn't want the over processed look, but did want the high dynamic range between shadow and light which is what HDR does best, brings things in the shadows to life. Plus, it brings out more color and detail. Not sure what any of you will think, but I'm happy with my progress compared to when I first started out. These two images show before HDR (straight out of the camera) and after my HDR process. Oh, one more thing...I photoshopped out the light poles in the HDR version because I'm adding that image to my portfolio album. I still have work to do...but I'm getting close.

Very nice, and it doesn't have that over processed look. Congrats on a job well done.
