    -=fantômas=-, you are a great photographer and you master your gear perfectly. But IMHO the trend to go for HDR (exposure bracketing / overlay...) has been overdone. I think some of your pictures would look better if they are kept more natural ('natural' HDR without extra filters, no extra grain). Furthermore I think this trend will last a short period only.
    It is just my opinion. :hug2:

    I like HDR's like this Frankfurt; Germany. Photo by Andreas Tofahrn

    But since you have the raw data you can make different jpgs anytime. :)

    One question: Do you shoot pictures by order of customers or do you make your own style and offer the pics, or just as a hobby?
    I myself didn't make HDR's so far since you need a tripod which I don't like to carry to where I shoot, lol...

    Anyway keep up your good work. Great to have different artists. :)

    Thank you Yen. It's just my hobby and for fun. I know that sometimes exaggerate the HDR process, but somehow I like. The real world is for me a bit too gray, so even though I make more surreal images. It improves my mood. I think slowly over time my photographs are more natural. I'm trying different options, but so far it is as you can see.

    Perhaps I should try some HDR's by myself as well :). Actually I am not a fan of 'post' processing images.
    I think the most important thing is the choice / composition of the image. And your images are very well composed.
    Thank you for posting your pictures.

    Of course, the possibilities are so much more.
    You can choose which version you like the most.
