Rose Thorns (before and after HDR)

Posting a normal macro shot in the first photo and the second photo, I used Photomatix HDR.

Macro of Rose Thorns - HDR




I like the first one as it looks more natural, to its true form.

This might have been a thorny issue had you not exceeded your one photo per day. :)

You're right, the first looks more natural, but then I've never been an HDR fan.

I was trying to figure out how to get these two photos together as one photo of the day. For now on will be just one photo a day.

Paul, I am not a huge fan of HDR but I like some aspects of it. I have trial software for now. I am not in too much of a rush to purchase the software program.

Thanks for commenting. :-))

I like both shots, the first one more real the second more dramatic. Great macro.

I like the first shot better. The background distracts from the subject in the second one.

i love the way the colour of the thorns really pops in the second one!

Interesting - excellent indeed - thank you for so beautifully illustrating the difference, such exquisite detail. You are very good at what you do, Stephanie.
