HDR and Non-HDR Comparison

What’s the Verdict?

Here are the two images in close proximity — before and after applying HDR.
Walker in Lewisville, North Carolina (Forsyth county). Deb Phillips, photographer.Walker in Lewisville, North Carolina (Forsyth county). Deb Phillips, photographer.It’s good to hear opinions on this matter. This seems like a subjective issue to me, plus I think the choice of whether to use HDR depends on how the image is being used, and for what purpose.

For instance, if you’re aiming for a more artistic rendering, the HDR definitely goes more in that direction than the non-HDR image.

Now that you’ve seen both images together, any additional thoughts?

UPDATE ON 2/25/09: I’ve added a Comments section below. Feel free to share your thoughts about this brief comparison of an HDR and a non-HDR photo. Opinions certainly vary widely regarding the application of HDR.

    If a person carrying a camera gives a strong impression that he belongs wherever he happens to be, people will believe him. Shy and evasive behavior invariably evokes suspicion with respect to motives. —Ralph Hattersley
