Any critique will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

- Took 3 different exposed pictures (-2, 0, +2)
- Use Photomatix software to merge the images and edit tonal values
- Raised contrast, saturation, unsharp mask and tonal contrast values
- Used infrared film effect on the background
- Finally i used the eraser tool (due to my lack of knowledge of PS) to bring out the infrared background and leave intact the caterpillar

That's it.

A powerful and dramatic image. I like the tilt which causes the frame to be completely filled with the digger. I don't always like heavily processed images but I think it works well in this case.

Bela imagem e ótimo tratamento, Francisco.
Gostei do seu ponto de vista e das cores.
Parabéns pelo belo trabalho, amigo.

Saudações brasileiras,
Bruno

It's a two way street, Francisco:

Any note explaining how you did this will be greatly appreciated! Thank You.

Great composition and tilt - I like how the green of the glass adds a point of interest and balances out the colour scheme.
Effective pp work.

Very nicely presented with some exquisite PP work here on display. The HDR effect does full justice for this tilted composition with lovely textures visible on the ground and digger. Awesome!

regards,

Dilshan

Wow Francisco, a wonderful capture, looks like a post card, well done nice POV and excellent PP work. Thanks for sharing
REgards,

Nice shot - I like the tilt making for a different type of image. Strong colour and good pp.

It would help if you told us in your notes what pp you did as all of us are here to learn, both from critiques and seeing what other peoples techniques are.

Hi Francisco,
Everybody don't likes this is sure and I usually too don't like HDR images. But this is crazy enough to look good.

The orange is my favourite and the shades of it are great.

This is probably made with an algorithm like Fattal?. You could tell it, if you know, and the parameters you used just for the interest of other members.
