Flower [Pseudo HDR] - General

Do people approve of the technique? By that i mean does this image look any good? [img_thumb]http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs51/i/2009/269/3/0/Dark_Flower_by_OcclusionDesign.jpg[/img_thumb]

Too grainy, do not like.

Actually, I did like it.

Too noisy.

I think the picture looks quite nice in a sort of holga-ish way.

[QUOTE=The golden;17520881]I'm sorry, but that is really bad. It's overexposed, it's not very clear, and the grain is utterly atrocious. Nor does it even have any elements of an HDR.[/QUOTE] pretty much this yeah

Also, how can that be possible that you merge something from different exposures, and then leave in the overexposed parts?

Nuke the grain, reduce the exposure in camera raw, run auto levels (unless you're going for a specific color tone), then use a Lens Blur filter on the background to fix the damage done by noise removal. Bam. [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/239.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=beatzdawg;17521057]I think the picture looks quite nice in a sort of holga-ish way.[/QUOTE] Bingo. If OP wanted to have huge grainyness and over exposure for artistic effect. Then he achieved it and it works quite well. If not then it's shit.

I quite the grain. The flower itself also looks quite nice, almost glowing. And here we see the beauty of art and opinions.
