playing around with HDR Merge in Capture One.........1st is a single photo I edited and the 2nd is the same exact photo merged with others at different exposures.........not sure which one I like better.
interesting story, maybe.......I took a photo on a pond that included this bird house that I assumed it was empty, I got home and looked at the photo and noticed something peeking out when I cropped in...............I went back and took some closeups with the 150-600. Surprised he put up with me being so close.
I like both, i am drawn to the darker one in relation to the deep orange sky. Although the waves in the second one, look a little clearer which is nice. Lovely capture though.
