Oh, very well done! I think it's a a very handsome dragon sculpture!
Tell me how you put this picture together. Is it a three shot HDR combo? Taken in RAW and processed from there? Or did you just focus on the sky and then lighten the foreground in Photoshop?
It's really nice.
Thanks Hilda.
Al, this is one photo in RAW format passed through Photomatix HDR. The original was taken using fill-flash because I was almost shooting into the sun. The HDR version brought out the details nicely but darkened the upper portion of the dragon where it is outlined against the sky so I used the dodge tool and lightened up that part of the dragon. I didn't use 3 exposures for the hdr because I was shooting using a flash without a tripod so getting three shots off without too much movement was too difficult.
Nice capture, well done.
