I can't believe I never saw the potential in this shot until now. Taken back in September, same tree as:

It might be hard to tell, but this is indeed HDR. I'm finally starting to refine my skills with it and make it look more natural, just as I've always wanted. This is probably my favorite HDR shot to date, and one of my favorite photos in general that I've taken.

I don't know why some people fuss over the whole HDR issue. I must agree that I don't like it when they're over-processed (I've done a few like that, but it's all in the learning curve), but when a picture looks natural like this one, people still sometimes get all angry that it's HDR. I think the best benefit in HDR processing (and there are many different ways to approach it) is that it allows you to bring out most of the details in the picture in order to reconstruct lost data and present something just as the human eye would see it on location.


[EDIT 4.20.10] Improved saturation, for web and print.

This photo is gorgeous!! The lighting and coloring here is wonderful! The light coming in through the tree adds almost a sense of hope in the shade. The grass has such great detail and I can see the tree perfectly, even in the shadows, I can still see green with some light, almost showing you that no darkness can ever hide from the light. No matter how high or low you may be.

I will admit though, I think it may need just a tad more saturation. It will really bring out the grass and the coloration much better.

Overall, I really do believe this is a wonderful photo. I hope you take plenty more! ^^
