  Hello Ricky,

  First impressions are WOW,

  but

  afterwards and for me there are 2 distinct styles of HDR,

  1. high contrast and colour images
  2. realistic and more exact exposure HDR

  again my opinion, the style of this HDR is a bit overpowering and in some cases makes the image
  look like it is taken from a computer game.

  I have been tricking around with some myself and prefer the more subtle style.

  and as i said initial thoughts . . . WOW

  I think the customer will be delighted with it.

  I wonder if you could have done something about the glare on the windscreen though? Polarising filter maybe?

  Good job none the less :D

  I must post the original when i get home, there are more subtle shots this is just one from the shoot and it is the customers favorite.
  I have an even more extreme HDR but i dont like it at and the fully saturated version of this image doesnt have the same impact.
  I find that black and red cars work best for HDR were as white will give you more problems trying to keep the car white !

  I will get a few more up when i get back home ;)

  I actually like the HDR – it suits the mood of the pics. Its the distoriton of the horizontals that distracts me though, a 2-3 degree CCW rotation may help.
