Aright ben great job ben BUT one little detail, there is just a little too much glair in the front window awsom job lol… nice
Ben Pacificar replied
Your right Jer! I got rid of most of it on the Orange, which is why I changed the color to gold to help minimize the glare. I wish I can edit as good as You maybe the image would have looked a lot better? HeHe!

That was a plan until….well, life happened. But I’m kitten sitting so calming. Toss in a deer, a couple turkeys, some scrub jays, and perhaps a raccoon troop and my weekend is complete. ;-)

I like it this way ….. even the glare on the window :-)
The empty space on the left makes my eye go for a lovely wander down the side of the train.
Amazing HDR work – I MUST learn (I keep getting those horrible glowy bits – but seeing your work makes me think that perhaps I need to start with a scene that has low contrast to begin with?)
Ben Pacificar replied 9 days ago
Low contrast to begin with can be crucial. You always have the option later to add it as Im sure you know. As far as the glowing and correct me if im wrong I believe its what we call the “Halo effect”. Its very common to get the halo effect when the strength is applied to strong.
