HDR Tree Stump
 

This my first true attempt at an HDR shot that has come out anything like what I'd hoped it would do. What do you think?

I tell you what Ian, if this is your first real attempt, you have managed to avoid all the pitfalls that I and a thousand people before me made. No halo's, not super over processed areas and very little noise. Nice work dude.

Thanks Jimmy. I tried three different methods of editing this image and I liked this version the best which uses the simple blending technique with layer masks. I finished it off with a tiny bit of dodging and burning.:)

i can only view the small version nd the roots look like uncovered muscles

I know Andy, I still haven't got the hang of how to make it clickable. Sorry.

Thank you Nigel.

Probably should have put this as a separate post Chris.

Oh s&it, I thought I had - will delete it and try again - so sorry OMG
Im embarrased!!!!!

Your welcome Ian. The trick is, thanks DigiDiva, is after posting your image via the yellow sky mountain box is to [B]highlight all the text. [/B]then [B]DONT COPY IT[/B] just leave it highlighted, then click Earth with mobius loop icon, get rid of the blue and right click paste into the text bos, click ok and you are made up. The bit I missed was not to recopy the text and then put it in the earth icon. Try it.
