Took my brick out on my day off from school courtesy of the snow...this shot was well received on a Volvo forum I'm a member of but I wasn't so sure...I have some nitpicks, wonder if anyone else shares them without me suggesting them.

Here's one that's not bump-mapped and is cropped differently

That is a great sky, I want less foreground and more sky.

Great light too.

Good to see you here, Mr. Yuck i like both but i think the second one that is not bump mapped is better. there is more craity to the trees and car and also the crop is better having that little bit extra sky and top of tree. I agree that the fg in both is dark and not adding anything, but I do not like the image much with the space it gives removed.

Nice work Mr. Yuck. If you have a blog on an HDR how to I would love to read it. If not you might consider one. Well done here.

Not a blog really, but I did write a bit of a how-to on how it's done that you've probably already seen...I might go ahead and do a blog too.

Gary: For the small image, you're absolutely right, but when set to large size, it seems like the bump-mapped one has more clarity in the trees...not sure about craity though :P

Thanks for the input.
