Im just a looker at HDR, but this is the most natural example I have come across. I really like it.

Thanks k7djj, I went back thru 28 pages of posters on this forum. I decided I preferred the natural as opposed to the over saturated HDR so that is what I'm trying to do. Thanks again.

Hi Old Boots
That's a fine outcome you got there. The wood details came out well. As for the cropping, I would not crop so close on the bottom edge. The other issue I have (maybe not to others) is that the technique has brought out too much detail in the background which competes with the trailer.

Thank you Chinaman. When I went back to page 28 at the start of this forum going through all the posters you were one of the best at critiquing on the thread. I could have cloned the mower at the bottom right like I did the tires in front of the trailer but I had already cropped it out. That can be part of a redo. Lightzone has a Gaussion Blur tool that I can take after the background, too. I have some HDRs of the mower and some other things around here that I will be posting. Your, and others, comments on them are welcome. Thanks again, Lee

Thank you for that, Lee. That's what critiquing is all about - offering ways to 'improve' an image to a 'level' that is widely accepted as a good or great level. I put the words 'improve' and 'level' in quotes, as we all accept that photography is art, and in art, anything goes, and there is no such thing as a standard or level. However, if one should submit to a competition, then certain technical criteria are expected - such as correct exposure, sharpness, colour rendition, composition, etc. People often talk about breaking the rules. I counter that by saying that if you didn't learn the rules in the first place, you can't break them effectively.
PM me with the link if you post again and would like me to critique, as I'm finding time a challenge at the moment and is not looking at every post.

Lee,
This is a very fine example of natural HDR, I like it a lot. The detail in the trailer is superb, and I quite like your crop. The only very small issue I can see, and only really visible at full size, is that there is some chromatic aberration (purple fringing) around the top wooden parts of the trailer.

Look forward to seeing more samples of your work.
Andrew
