It's good to see some people have the same taste that I have' I liked 5 also. Still there's a lot of good pictures there. Good luck to all

No. 11

**cheekygeek** · 11-16-2015, 07:50 PM

I have no "dog in this fight" but it saddens me to see how many people are drawn to Number 5 which is very clearly an excellent example of a "dialed to 11" overbaked "HDR" image. HDR can be a great technique , but people who overdo it have given it a bad name and they are rewarded by people (like many in this thread) who seem to not be able to discern an overbaked image.

This would have been an exceptional image WITHOUT the over-processing. It is colorful and exotic and has a lot of interest going on. It didn't NEED the needles pushed into the Red Zone of post-processing.

I'm sure I should put my flame-retardant suit on for the fury that will come upon me for saying so, but this image is clearly across the photo-realistic line and should be recognized as such my most with a critical eye here. It is unfortunate that for many "color" is defined by pushing the saturation slider to ridiculous levels or resorting to extreme HDR.

Mike Bokeh · 11-16-2015, 10:30 PM

Should we, or should we not announce which is our choice?

I did vote.

I thought it was a bright day, the shadows look dark enough. I'm not the pro I ought to be. But I try hard. I listen to pros so I can learn things. I'm not knocking anything you say, I thank you for the input
I guess I have to start looking harder. Thanks Gheekygeek.

I voted FOR number five, because I liked it "all that much". how the shooter got it there is irrelevent to me. The set-up was very good, hell!! it was just a great shot. Others were not as "all-around good" RJM
