    Default HDR-Unaligning images

    I took 3 exposures of this as we were leaving Anhinga Trail and decided to try some different. I processed them as an HDR, fully knowing they would not align, since they were not of the same weeds. I thought the combination may look good and what do you guys think?

    Fabs, I like it and think it was a great idea-the warm colors add to the soft wispy feel!!

    I think it looks great. I especially like the plant in the middle that is whitish. It compliments the others and makes a good focal point for the image. Thanks for sharing!

    Fabs: I really like your experimental nature, but as I'm sure you know sometimes experiments go wrong. I'm afraid, IMO, this is such a case. Essentially you are using the HDR algorithms to blend images, and there are quite pronounced errors in this approach.
    For example I've tried HDR images, taken on a tripod, of moving waves at a beach, and there were a large number of areas that the computer could'nt calculate and what was left were ugly holes. Not as pronounced in your image, but evident to me at least.
    I think that a more succesful approach would have been to use layers for each of your photographs, and use tranparancy and blending to combine them. regards~Bill

    Bill, I was not looking for exact calculations, but rather take an abstract approach.

    As an artist, lines and colors don't have to conform to norms, rather to visual appeal.

    Thanks for your feedback.
