Err, i dunno man. Some of the HDR shots seems a bit "over" leh...:think:

Ahhh, can someone tell me how to judge Realistic HDR?:sweat:

 

[Kit]

Some of them are really successful but some others are still looking overdone, including the ones from Singapore.

Nice .. thanks for sharing ...
Is it just me , or the HDRs are more artistic than they are realistic ?

 

[giantcanopy]

HDR can make it as realistic or surrealistic.
Whether one prefers it one way or the other is apples and oranges

But i do prefer it to look abit more real to me where shadows are supposed to be shadows.
The surrealistic ones are starting to look like artificial 3D rendering to me ..

these are the only 3 that i can take

the rest, i think if want to achieve that sort of effect, start from scratch and use digital art faster, and can have more control. why go out and take a picture of life and turn it into something looking so artificial? the cloud detail in some of these pictures are really scary

not to mention, the composition is very blah. the authors have simply abused the effect to give it a wow factor, but i think after a few more looks, you get bored.

list of hdrs that are better, in my opinion anyways, in no particular order - pushing surreality but no surpassing any boundaries

Some are overprocessed and other are well done.
