What do you think about this pictu
http://www.molon.de/galleries/Malays...img.php?pic=10

Photomatix Pro with five RAW images (0EV, +- 2EV, +-4EV);
"photographic" setting.

The water of the waterfall and the sky on top are very bright, while the
shadow areas in the trees are very dark.

I agree with you but my first reaction was to try to double the size
of the image. I think it would have a different impact then. Even so,
I would like to be able to see a little more deeply into the shadows
of the trees. I would also like to see more detail of the clouds and
sky but suspect there is none there to resolve.

Somehow I don't get the feeling of the depth and
atmosphere of the space. I think because it's slightly
blurred and too saturated. But I sure would like to
be there to spend a sunny afternoon sunning and
swimming. :)

Very nice website. Such a beautiful job. It's all
clearly organized, easily navigable, lean, fast and
entirely functional. I don't see many such well
designed sites these days.

I think that you have been able to achieve an acceptable balance recovering
highlights, and shadow detail.

It might be interesting to compare the 0EV image with the final HDR.

Something like this:

This might be an opportunity to try the HDR capability of On1 PR 2018. ;-)

The water of the waterfall and the sky on top are very bright, while the
shadow areas in the trees are very dark.

A perfect scenario for HDR, or even exposure stacking without tone mapping.

IMHO it is indeed a badly processed image. I suspect that the burning of
the highlights, and lack of shadow detail, are the result of either
shooting in low quality JPEG, and/or bad processing. The over saturation
and over-saturation and high luminescence of the green, are clues to
poor processing.

Having said that, I agree it might be a good place to chill out for a while.

It's ok, but I was never a fan of the neon-greens this produces.

The greens look OK to me but I suppose it depends upon what you are
used to.

Maybe a bit over-saturated, but you were there, not me. The only other
thing is that the foreground looks unnaturally bright, at least
compared to what I can see of the sky. It's like it's what you would
see if someone were lighting it.

I don't like it because I don't believe the colour of the leaves. Were
they /really/ that intensely green?
