There seems to be a split-decision about h.d.r. images,and where they can be used etc...personally I find them o.k.,as long as they're not overdone...any thoughts..??

Great title. Love the vivid purples. I only card for HDR if it is well done. ;0)

agree, overdone is too 'cartoonish' - I like a small foreground or background accent in HDR but don't like to make it look fake!

Whatever! Beauty is what it is: HDR or Not. ...this is fantastic.

I guess I respect both extremes on HDR : added reality and the determined departure from reality. Done well, either can be impressive but the trouble starts when the efforts fall somewhere in-between. High time we had in-camera HDR and a decent dynamic range in the first place !

I think this is a great study in purples and if it's HDR, so much the better.

I really like this...but I do know what you mean about overdone sometimes...there is a fine line and you have to watch you don't cross it ; ) and you did not!

Excellent work! I'm with you! I like HDR as long as they are not over processed! You did well here. I like it :))
