I agree, looks fine without it Mark. On a side note, it's a good idea to clone out skin blemishes (the non-permanent type) before applying any HDR, since it really makes those things blossom on the screen.

IMHO the HDR brings out to much contrast here - it makes the shirt look like it's been on the dirty laundry pile and he just put it on to play - also seems to bring out to many of the skin blemishes.

I do think going forward you could use it in select areas of a photo - eg the ball

Also note that your blue is lighter in the HDR.

Overall nice clean poster, I like the background fade to the bottom

I like the original better.

Tom,

Yep the HDR really puts brings out the skin. I'll do that next go around. Thanks for the suggestion.

Forgive me, but even the one that says it's HDR doesn't look High Dynamic Range to me, compressed tones, sure... HDR, no...

I'm a huge fan of the HDR look but I've found that, given the option, most parents prefer the straight image to the HDR. I think your sample image looks great either way, but it's really all about what sells ...
