Grunge plus! by joansmor

Grunge plus!

I know this is HDR but I processed it using summation and as one single photo but this bracketed HDR is the one I like the best. I had to mask the background to reduce the saturation and add a little more blur so it didn't compete with the hydrant. Having fun with the variety of photos I took Sunday. Have more birds, more flowing water, more flowers and more mill shots I want to post. Thanks for all you wonderful support and glad you like my hooded mergansers tomorrow it will be ring necked ducks.
Very cool processing Joan.............the hdr really brings out the detail!

Your processing is just fantastic. This makes it such an intriguing image and a strong composition.

@taffy Thanks I didn't know if anyone but me would like it.

Your processing has really worked. Great detail on the primary subjects
with background that's depth to photo. Has a 3D quality

This is different for you... well done on trying something new: if we always do what we always do. we always get what we always get. Now Joan the grunge artist - that's certainly a departure!

Wonderful processing, and yes, very grunge.

Great shot Joan... I've never saw a hydrant this color. Nice work.

I like the textures and colors. And wouldn't you know, the City came around today and flushed all of the fire hydrants. Is that what you call it when they let the water out?...
April 16th, 2015  
@gratefulness I believe so did you catch a shot?
April 16th, 2015  
No, I wasn't quick enough. They were done by the time I was able to bring my dog back inside and find my camera. The water gushing out of the hydrant with such force was quite a sight, though. :o

Really nice edit! I think HDR is something you either love or hate..
