quite an effective shot, especially for being hand-held in such low light! this would be a great candidate for HDR... if you'd like, i can give a quick pass thru ReDynaMix, just to give you an idea of how it'd look. ReDynaMix isn't as clean and doesn't produce the same quality results as, say, Photomatix, but it does serve fairly well for "quick-n-dirty" HDR processing, to decide whether an image is worth further effort...

okay... here ya go... it's just a quickie run through ReDynaMix, and could be done better using Photoshop and Photomatix, but this should give you an idea of how the original could look with HDR processing...Originally Posted by tomorrowstreasures

I prefer the original, the second version looks digitally altered and I am a minimalist at heart when it comes to photo manipulation. Gorgeous photo and I would leave it be....

I do not always know but in this case it just looks it, not trying to be difficult but it is just my opinion which is worth pretty much nothing lol .....

no worries. HDR is not everyone's cuppa tea. personally, i see it as a tool to be used to help when the "natural" lighting doesn't produce the exposure i want. i certainly don't shoot with the intention of using it, except on rare occasions.
i'm sure i could have made this photo more natural-looking had i spent more time on it, but as i mentioned, this was just a quickie processing job to show the potential...

I'd have seen it.
I must say, both shots are completely different in my eyes. Can't say which I like more. I like the moodyness in the original, but the "processed" one has a nice look to it too. Guess I'll just stick to liking them both... :P
Listen, three eyes, don't you try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.
