Bangaz Boy - Sweet photos mate!

If i were you, i would tone down on the HDR processing on your car. Everything else is fine, but especially with your car being black, reflections are killing it. Possibly use a layer mask and the original image and merge them together, with the HDR being the background and everything and the properly exposed car in the photo instead of the HDR composite.

Do you know what i mean?

[Bangaz Boy]

Yeah mate I know what you mean . At the time i was going for the reflections as I wanted to see how it came up after processing it as a HDR (went a bit overboard with the processing). I've been wanting to try a few of the car with the polariser to cut down the reflections to see how it would look, unfortunately car is off the road at the moment. Otherwise I might try give the layer mask a go, really need to improve my PS skills. thanks for the tip!

[MaTBoY]

I agree with kory, tone down the hdr on the car. If you've got the original pics just cut your car out and paste it over one of these. You can just adjust the tones and shadows of your car to help it blend in.

the animal shots and waterfall stuff is all fantastic mate! 10/10.

[siddr20]

Agree on the comments above.

But im seriously loving that star shot. Big fan of astrophotography so i know how hard it is. You did a great job Loving the other photos also. Hope to see more from you soon

i'm fkn sick of HDR... being over done to the point its distracting

[Bangaz Boy]

Thanks for your comments guys, I like receiving constructive criticism, trying to improve as much as possible, so feel free to give me any advice or criticism. Otherwise I'm glad to hear that you guys like some of the photos.

Barra - I know what you mean about HDR, everyone seems to be doing it these days, and there is a lot of overdone stuff (including stuff I've done). I've only recently just got my camera so I've only just got into doing the HDRs and having some fun with them. I really want to improve on standard photos instead of relying on HDR to make them standout.

Well in that case!

Cool image - might be better with bigger DoF? Not sure where I should be looking.. maybe darkening the surrounding plants and leaving middle one to be brighter

Very very flat image - needs darker darks and brighter brights (very common HDR problem due to the nature of HDRs)

Don't think the horizon is flat but it works in this image imo

That is freaking amazing. Very impressive. Just need an interesting foreground and it would be super.

Another nice one.. don't think the non level horizon works in this one though

These two are also very flat

Background slightly flat. I don't mind the HDR car but the halo's around it aren't nice

This one is perfect I think. Only thing I would do maybe is crop the bottom and left slightly.. maybe

Good shot - like the teeth
