RURAL CUBA HDR experiment Photo

Photographer’s Note

Working the fields in Cuba has been the same for the last few decades. This picture is meant to be very soft. It was taken with triple bracketing and assembled with HDR (high dynamic range). Mostly to accentuate the softness and the greens of the lucious vegetation. The mountain in the back and the sky are kept quite grayish to accentuate the front of the picture. I hope you like it, it was mostly an experiment for me.

Hi Michel
I would have classified this more as experimental. But you manage to capture good colors, I'm just not sure about the effects on the neck and belly of the bull. Otherwise good work.
Cheers

Hello michael
This is excellent photo with interesting well composed scene. Colors and light are very good.
I'd like to see it without HDR manipulation because I don't think that HDR do good for this photo. Whole scene looks like wrapped in some plastic sheet and look unnatural especelly on bulls neck.
Regards Darko

I really like it. The colors are really great and the bluring efect gives it a dream-like quality. The eye of the bull really draws my attention as it seems the sharpest to me.

I wonder what it would look like in black and white...

Hi Michel,

Good shot, but everything has one's limit as well as DTP techniques have. I would see the original version without HDR.
