    Hi Steve - I am preferring the first photo too. It has a more dreamy touch.
    By the way: What programm are you using for HDR?

    I used Photomatix for the HDR conversion and then for the first image I added a Glamour Blur and lastly some selective sharpening.

    An add on filter I found in one of the links someone posted here. Think it was in the processing section of the forums I find it makes a similar effect to what you see Dwayne using all the time.

    I like the first most. actually since you wanted the blurry effect (which worked well n this scene) it covered the unnatural look of the HDR

    About glamour shots, some old time photographer used to take their shots using slightly blurred filters, hazy filters or crupled plastic bags, it helped to make blurry yet sharp pictures, hiding some features such as skin defects and giving a child-skin effect the the models.
    You can easily post this effect by creating a layer, setting it to overlay (*not sure if this is the right blending mode) and filtering with some level of gaussian blur.

    I'am with F8&Bthere on this one. I like the second one. It looks a little more realistic to me. As mentioned, both pictures are great.

    Thanks for those comments.

    Yes ... back in the 'old' days we did use all sorts of things as filters. I used to steal my wife's stockings/panty hose and cut a small hole in them to create a 'soft filter' for portraits.
    Cellophane for coloured filters was another trick.

    I like the first one better I think, simply because it's got that dream look about it, looks like a image that someone would dream of. Both are very close, I had to look at both several times to figure out what was actually different.
