First attempt at HDR - Please magnify to better see the results

Okay... thought I'd keep it simple and just give it a go. Wanted to see what HDR would do with the "fire" in the colors of the fall crepe myrtle leaves. Used only 2 exposures and got the last result. Nothing else was done to it - just used the default settings on HDR Pro in Photoshop. Not bad! Thank you 365ers for making me stretch my abilities here!
Love it!

Nice job. I've got to learn how to do that. I have the photoshop elements 5 but haven't even mastered that yet.

@vernabeth Thank you, Beth! Just experiment with one feature at a time! Learn one, then try another! What else can we do? Cheers!

@princesicita Thank you, Princess! It really deepened the color!

@rhondatipton Maybe I'll try it on something else the next time, Rhonda. Some folks get such a gorgeous effect and their photos look like a Thomas Kinkade painting. I'd to get one result like that. Thank you for your comments!

@nickk It's probably good to use sometimes, Nick. But "all the time"? Nah! It can't make up for a really good photo to begin with! But, then I'm mainly a "purest" when it comes to that. I think it depends on the use of the photo, it's purpose, etc. HDR can add or detract from a good photo. Like Peter said above, it's a matter of taste/opinion.

@wellington LOL! I was in the same boat, Amy! I Googled it, started reading... then I realized I had it with my Photoshop. So I just started experimenting with it. It requires bracketed exposures to make it work but, it's not too hard. Thank you for the compliment!
