I like the fact the HDR is not over done. To bad there must have been a breeze moving the leaves, but on the other hand it gives some life to the photo.

Greymule,

It appears there was a great deal of movement in the tree during one exposure. Windy?

On your image it will be a lot of work locating and removing the movement, but it could be done.

During your HDR processing you would be using 3 or more image captures. One of those images has the movement, and in the HDR processing you can remove that layer element from the overall product. You can try it to see the effect on your tree image, target the leaves and branches with the blue sky background.

Greymule, br br It appears there was a great deal... (show quote)


I'm thinking the OP wanted the movement. This man seems to be very much in control of his photography based on previous postings.

He may be wanting the ghosted images in the sky, but for HDR it is very distracting, and looks like a trial and error picture.

If he want to improve the HDR he now has the tools and vision to make it the way he wants.

I left the ghosts intentionally. It was very windy. It was a trial image to see what it looked like, and what others' reaction might be.

Thanks for looking and commenting.

I don't find it distracting at all. It's rather lovely.

Here is the image with the ghosts removed during HDR processing.

Greymule,

It is looking better. Look in the top right corner. Are those ghosted leaves and twigs, or transparent brush?

Sometimes we look at the Forrest so long we can no longer see the tree.

I don't think it's either. Looks like a small branch with leaves blowing in the wind with the slow shutter speed I used to try to catch the yellow glow/blur of the flowers.

Thanks for looking and commenting. I love this site for the feedback.

Great Greymule, moving trees are the HDR photographers worst nightmare (or mine anyway), you've shown they can be interesting in themselves, might have to try one myself!
