It's not a HDR , it's orton processing
Funny old world...I take shots not quite in focus and try to rectify it and then some one invents this ORTON(known about it for over a year) and people think I will try that and end up getting beautifully sharp shots back to my blurred ones,
keith...
Mind you it must work as Many many view yours and hardly anyone mine.
I've looked at this a couple of times now and whilst I think the subject matter is really beautiful and the composition is great, I can't get my head round the processing. It all looks a bit blurry to me............or is that what it is supposed to do?
I'd love to see the original.
Truthlly the original is Flat , Sharp , uninspiring!
I've taken so many reflection shots and i got the same replies over and over again... "My eye doesn't know what to look at" or "It's a good image but it doesn't hold my interest" or "you need a point of interest" and some " The light is bad go back with good light ".
I love this processing style for the summer shots , i've even changed processing styles for my black and whites. The change is totaly different in replies and how i feel about my images. Gone are the replies of lack of interest just the odd one isn't sure about the processing.
I didn't even know about Orton until sometime after when someone mentioned it
I can't make my mind up, I really like aspects of it like composition, sky and the reflections.
Then I look at the tree's and they appear..well...furry?!?
Hmm I really cant decide, certainly grabbed my attention though.
Surely though, the photo needs to make YOU happy. Which makes me wonder, if you got negative replies in the past, but were happy with the photos, why change? What would happen if you get responses you like, but you are unhappy with the photos?
I like the process, but like anything, too much of a quircky style, and it will get old, real quick.

I was happy with the photo's in the past but i wanted to go further , i just took more of the views on board. Though A few people that didn't like my shots then and even now are not exactly the ones to give any critque going by their shots
Come on dude, you can do a hell of a lot better than that!!! Never ever show superiority complex, its ugly. Another reason people are scared to crit, they are worried that those who think they are "better" don't value their input.

but then their work isn't exactly good anyway.
Not at all , i just take a dim view of SOME people that don't like your work nor your processing at any stage but then their work isn't exactly good anyway. If you critique other peoples work atleast use the same critique on your own images. This is not for everyone
Your own images for example are amazing , however the processing and nd grads.. Was the sky really purple? , did the sea really look smooth like that?. People like one set of processing and not another because it doesn't look right or doesn't look real , but what is real?
Sorry Garry i'm just f**** off with a few people and the hypocrisy on this forum , i'm going to take a few days away from the forums to chill.

Isn't this the type of comments that we have been discussing on another couple of current threads about commenting on others images, why we do it and how we react to it?
Isn't this a case in point of how people sometimes come across as being dismissive of certain peoples crit because they don't think they have decent shots in their arsenal and so can not make an observation?
Boring I know, but if you can not take comments good and bad then don't post. Do you only want people to blow smoke up your arse without ever pointing out anything bad?
I sometimes thing peoples tones and the true meanings of statements can be lost in the written word , sometimes though , not always

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I did NOT , and I REALLY DO MEAN THIS, I did NOT kill Mrs Pink, with the Sausage, in the Laundry Room!!!
