I am becoming more and more limited on what I can enter into the MVO photo contests because of the post processing restrictions. Now that I have discovered HDR, I love it and use it on much of my work.

One of the photo contest sites I'm a member of says the following in their rules:

Quote from: www.Shutterbugs.biz

HDR images (High Dynamic Range) - Is allowed in all categories. HDR is a valid photographic technique that involves the combining or merging of different exposures taken of the exact same scene to increase the dynamic range of the final photo. HDR overcomes the exposure range limitations of today's digital camera technology.

Guess I'll just keep it to the 'non-competitive' threads...

Here's one of the pets I would have entered for September if not for the post processing limitations:

Here's a more complete image of Emmett as part of a still life award winner at DA. (Jak took the other category there that day which was a lot of fun.)

Image is titled, "Wildflowers with Cat" ...lounging.

Good one! My image loaded up slooooow and I saw the elephant statues in the background and thought, 'how did he capture them in this shot'.

It's been that kind of a day.......

Those elephants would prefer a smaller cat.

I was playing with the Japanese Teahouse that I entered into the contest and just thought I'd show you the 'artified' version...
