Seen the city so many times fly in and out of O'Hare. This makes it seem completely new. That shot if Chicago is excellent. Seen the city so many times fly in and out of O’Hare.

I will tell you this: when I stumbled upon this site I really thought it was great art work and probably would have never guessed it was photography until I looked at the heading and the comments. I think your photos are fantastic, especially the one of the city (I suspect Chicago) where it looks like the city is in Hell and the one in Asia where it looks like the clouds are taking the shape of the tower. It's beautiful. You make me want to be a photographer. Glad you're man enough to take my constructive criticism;) Well, I’m not a photographer and I don’t know what the hell HDR is and really don’t care.

Wow. Okay, that means I'm bored, sure, but that also that means I got the opportunity to see several points of view. I have never really used HDR but am a fan of photoshop filters and other alteration tools. I personally found the photos fascinating (otherwise I would not have read the comments). Many of my friends do not appreciate what I do with photos (filters, etc.) and offer constructive feedback with the best of intentions. I have found that if a photo, drawing, painting, etc. brings any criticism that actually affects my mood towards the creation then I never truly was satisfied with it. Not that I do not wish to improve, only that I will never apologize or change that which I have created and already looked upon as truly finished--that is, matching what my mind had intended. I dig the styling and composition (whatever you may have used). -Chris I just read every comment. Wow.

I don't care what DCP thinks, and yes, they do surreal, but that's what they're aiming for! Great pictures, I can't get enough of those city HDR shots. These looks really, really good.

I loved those two pics very much and wish you could use a non-blocked site so I and the other 500million online people here can enjoy them as well.

Some of the places can be identified while others not. For example, the tree with the sunny background; the railway station and especially the third picture which is so bright and colorful....I just want to know which place that is. Could you please label the pictures with the place and date, if possible? Thanks Hey

Your opinion is, well, your opinion. I for one can't stand the look of these. So kill me. I just don't like the blurry, overly colorized look. I tend to agree with one of the other posters, to the effect that they look like video game stills or photos that were incredibly stylized by cheesy photoshop filters. That being said this guy has talent for being able to do this in the first place. While I don't like it, I've never been able to demystify HDR images and for that I gotta give some KUDOS! I do think this photographer will get better with the technique as time goes on, but if he doesn't want to and is perfectly happy with the way they are then so be it. That's his decision. I would only hope that the photographer would take some of the criticism to heart, and try things different next time. Perhaps tone down the dramatic colors to lose some of that fake photoshop look. I don't think you have to go for Ansel Adams realistic work, but if you tone things down a bit I think all the photos could be stronger and benefit from it. It's sort of the same technique with film. Some of the best effects in film are the subtleties one overlooks. I do agree that if you are going to speak negative or speak your mind, you should at least give some constructive criticism.
