aiyoyoh dude. you need to try again.

the details are all smudged!

u using tripod?

adjust the tone till u get "near reality" looks...

Look more like a drawing.

You overdid it slightly. Give it another go Play around with the settings.

i think u terlebih HDR the photo..but i like the effect on first and second photo..look like animation..

thanks for the replies...

Added on September 5, 2008, 9:54 pmbtw, try to look at 1 and 2. is it normal that the colour of grass with shadow is different for the one without shadow?

it depends. what software did you use to merge these?

photomatix

okay so the new pic is much better but still you lost your highlights. *hint the sky and some visible halos around and your shadows are no longer shadows anymore.

alrity try these settings. this one i use for bright days outdoors.
strength: 60-75
color saturation: 50-65
light smoothing: medium-high
luminosity: 5-8

Tone
White point and black point i usually push them to the max.
gamma: default

Micro
Micro contrast: 7-10
Micro smoothing: default

S/H
highlights smoothing 70-100 *this is where you get back your highlights.

so these are just starting points. its up to you to tweak them. have fun!
