Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Figured I'd dig out some work to show folks: it's been a while.
Recently I've done some jobs involving HDR (merging bracketed exposures) even for fairly simple images such as this (documenting a new office for an architect):
(it's only the outside view that needed the extra work)
Given all this HDR work I've gone back to revisit some of my Africa work from last year. This merged shot overlooking Tarangire NP from our accommodation at dawn took my fancy:
And to finish this post off, I found this shot from within Tarangire (it has the highest concentration of Elephants _anywhere_):

I only see one  Do I have to go crossed eye before the rest appear.
Out of interest were you just using photoshop, manual or a program to do the office HDR ?

As with Craig .... the rest must be hiding somewhere.
Do we need to know a secret handshake or something?

Yes, but it's concentrating really hard.

Ok, ok, they're not always concentrated in exactly the same spot. But if you look around you will find more!

I tried using just CS3, but I've been getting my best results out of Photomatix Pro.

Maybe it's those 3 dots in the background?
