Protea #4, HDR



The series of HDR tests continues with another protea specimen.  I'm starting to get the hang of the HDR workflow, but the number of steps and something I can only explain as the "butterfly effect" make it a challenge to have consistent colors and tone maps.  


This is a slightly different sepia/blue split tone generated in Nik Silver Efex Pro.  It saves a couple of workflow steps, but it doesn't have as much depth as the Lightroom 3.
