Eros Bendato Redux - HDR Series


This version of Eros Bendato was taken from the same angle as the last post, but is a stitched panorama from three vertical slices of the statue.  I ran the the resulting single 24 mega-pixel through a landscape preset I made for Nik HDR Efex, then added a CSI Miami glow using Nik Color Efex Pro.


Nik Silver Efex Pro is responsible for the monochrome conversion with sepia/blue split tone.


This Polaroid Transfer version made in Nik Color Efex Pro might be my favorite of this series.


The solarized version, also from Nik Color Efex Pro, gets its split tone from Lightroom 3.

You're on fire right now! I like the first color version of this post the best.

Ben, you are too kind. Among the advantages of parking processing variations on SOSL is the kindly feedback. And, after cranking out a batch, it is nice to have a cooling off period before making a final pick for printing. What ever did we do before the WWW?
