Feedback please
      #680191 - 18/07/2008 09:41

I would be grateful for some feedback on some of my pics on Flickr (linky in my sig).

I've post-processed in Lightroom to give some of them a HDR "look" without them actually being HDR. They're in the "Scapes" and "Britain" sets. Do they look overcooked?

TIA for your time.

In a word... Yes

Why would you want to fake an HDR look anyway?

Thanks Fen - the reason for the "HDR look" is so I could get cloud detail as well as other detail. And I didn't have a tripod with me for any of those shots.

I also quite like both certain slightly oversaturated and certain desaturated images in general - a personal thing. So I tended to boost saturation, but too much for your taste (amongst others I am sure) at least.

I think in the end... as long as you like the results that's the most important thing

Doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

{wistful} Ah, but to have others like my shots as well would be nice {/wistful}

I've re-processed after Fen's thought-provoking comments if anyone is interested...
