Bird box

Two shot's today, but processed slightly differently. Was a beautiful spring morning blue sky bright early morning sun and fresh spring foliage on the trees. The first shot is a mild HDR in TopazAdjust 4 and the second is edited in CS5, now I prefer the first, it gives the closest at to what my eye's saw this morning, but what do you guy's think.

I know it would probably look better with a bird exiting, but I wasn't that patient.

Yep, first for me too. I started to get quite carried away with HDR using photomatix but haven't dabbled for a while.. but now I've started thinking about it again.........

Some of the clouds have come out pink in #2, the CS5 edit, so no contest, it has to be #1.

But they don't look like the same exposure, the angle is different?

The sky (bottom right) of the second one looks mildly solarised and the blosson a bit odd.

So 1st one for me also

It's no good, I've bitten my tongue for too long. I can hold in my pain no longer!!!!!!

Snappy, can I beg you, please, please, please, pretty please...

...stop putting apostrophes in plural nouns!!!!!!! It is always wrong, if the 's' at the end is only for the plural, and not also for the possessive.

Shots, eyes, guys.

I love a lot of your pictures, but please stop doing this, even if only for my stress levels.

Pleeeeeeeeeeease

It'll be less typing for you too, so you'll be an even snappier chappy

Although I'm not a native English speaker, I agree with ChrisA. It's one of the very basic things we were taught in early English lessons at school. When I was in Ireland, I saw people doing this all the time. Not that I would think it only happens in Ireland.
And by the way, I also like the first shot better.

ChrisA, maybe he's a greengrocer.

#1 for me of the two, since the clouds look weird in #2. It would have been easier to compare if you had used the same photo for both treatments though.

Apologies Chris, I will try my bestest........
