Almost Disneyesque. And the composition is OK for a botanic determination book, but not very inspiring for others.
But then, I wasn't trying to provide YOU with inspiration or suit your taste.
Gee, a poster with a reputation of 0 giving advice. Priceless.
Quote:As for HDRi, this was a downsample (*jpeg) of the raw high resolution image (.cdr). Nothing else was changed.

No sir, they were not. This camera is used for astrophotography (i.e, it has a clear sensor filter instead of the standard Canon IR-cut filter. I used a custom white balance with a Baader UV/IR cut filter on the lens in order to shoot regular photography). If it is too "vibrant" for you, you can always download it and then adjust it to whatever drab color balance you prefer.

wonderless boy Wrote:Nothing. But this board isn't one.
But there are people here who like my pictures, and at least one who is a botanist. Not everyone has your dull outlook on life, dude.

Thank you Mr. Obvious for that astute observation.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
