| | | | Nice, proper use of HDR. Far from overcooked.

| | | | I only like HDR when you don't see right away that it's HDR (normally very very very VERY ANNOYINGLY OVERUSED).
So...great job!!!

| | | | Great, looks natural. You probably could have even gotten a bit more shadow detail in there, but either way the picture looks good.
This is a lesson in how to do it: does everyone see how the window is still the brightest thing in the frame even though there's still detail there?

| | | | I think you could've accomplished this same shot with just two exposures and a simple layer mask. You probably would've been able to get more detail outside of the window as well. The grey lines surrounding outlining the window frame and railing look kind of fake, but other than that it looks ok.
You also don't need HDR to be able to get more definition out of the shadows. There's a lot of information in a single image, especially if you're shooting RAW. A simple tweak in Photoshop will help bring out a bit more detail in things like the stairs and the walls.
This isn't the most natural looking edit, but it does help things out slightly, especially with muddy shadows of your original.

| | | | I tried getting it all in one shot, But failed so I did use only two exposures.
Thanks for the advice tho.

| | | | It seems to look like it was just one shot (and not HDR) HDR is to get all the range that the eye can not see, or so I'm told. An HDR image has all the shadows and high lights in one image giving it a unreal look.
You did a good job on you image, but I don't think it will work to its full value due to the fact there is no tonal range.
O well, keep at it!
If you can't beat them, shoot them!

HDR = High Dynamic Range , what you said about it is correct , but it doesn't necessarily give it an unreal look, or drawing , or cartoonish look . it all depends on what is the finished product you want and the look you want and how you proceed to get to that look , so far ive tried at least 5 manual ways of getting HDR on photoshop and an HDR software called photomatix, well all of give nice results a bit different for each , and each technique has its ups and downs , but I noticed that photomatix often, specially if misused, will give a cartoonish look and will kill some pixels for some reason or another , but if its the cartoonish look you are after then that technique (software) works.

| | | | I am not so sure if using HDR in a shot like this adds anything to the overall photo...so you can see little green leaves in the small window frame, does that really add anything?

This could easily replace 95% of all HDR shots, if people could learn how to use curves and light balance.
Good use of HDR anyways.

| | | | I was really just trying to not have the window blown out. So I called it "HDR" But it's not. It's Exposure Blending. That is what I meant to do.

then you need blend the picture that has the less overexposed window using any technique that you like.

Forgot that, heh
That'd probably finish most of the remaining %5 . . . . . . .
Why is it important to have non-blown out windows? I mean, unless your subject is both inside and out I don't quite understand the need for HDR. I know it is supposed to ''replicate'' human vision, but photographic vision is generally not supposed to be the same thing in my experience.
I can see how it works here, with the foreground helping composit the background(window), but if the subject is an interior, why waste the focus of the eye on something other than the interior?
Just playing devils advocate . . .

in general , when taking for example portraits inside and there is a window somewhere in the picture, the window should be 1 stop overexposed (ambient light reading at the window) to give it a natural look since the outside is always brighter ...
