Very nice! Maybe you should brighten up the cars a bit... they look like really nice black blobs... at least in the first 2 pics

I think you might have over did it in pic #3... the clouds look a little funny.

Another "tip". HDRs tend to get very blue after adjusting the settings. Use PS to return the colors back to "normal".

I'm no expert but thats what I was told :2cent:

Not bad...

I've started playing with HDR recently, too. The hardest thing for me is knowing when to pull back on the effect and keep it looking realistic. Sometimes the effect looks so good I forget to focus on the realism and it starts looking fake.

I've had some luck with playing around with the hue and saturation through someone's advice here.

is it just this computer that i'm on, or do they seem a little grainy?
