We send emails to Yahoo asking for explanations and never get a response. And of course Flickr doesn't mind deleting an pro account where someone has paid $25 a year for unlimited postings. If any other business ran the way Flickr is run they would be out of business by now. My advice, never, ever get a pro account with these bastards.

My thoughts on your image are only my subjective opinion, please feel free to ignore :) You have done a good job with the tone mapping. I don't see any halos, and the contrast is still reasonable, though perhaps a little bit flat. I personally find the colours over-saturated, but you may like it that way. You're off to a great start with HDR! Keep shooting and practicing and you'll refine your technique. Thanks for your comment.

I was standing in the dugout and it was cold and overly bright day. Not only was the sky blown out in one of my shots, the seating was too. I decided this minght be a good time to test the capability of shooting HDR. I don't think it was a well composed shot, but i was wondering if you thought it was a decent HDR or is it over saturated? http://www.flickr.com/photos/tscibilia/4231153527/ Great post, I’m pretty new to HDR never realized it’s potential before and i tryed to use it in a particular scene when I toured the new Yankee stadium.

It was good camera, but I have outgrown it. I am also on FlickR and find it fun, but I do know what you mean about some of the awards. I would welcome comments about my photos and what their likes or dislikes are. Or how to improve my shot etc. I am also "self teaching," myself with Adobe photo shop. Then of course I have a full time job... Thank you for sharing and by the way great photos, I see I hav alot too learn...Cuddo-s Neil,

I always found the award fad a pain for the eyes. Seriously, who cares for another "I'm pasting this junk" award? please... Just as annoying is the "comment 10.000 post 1" fad in group rules. I think that encouraging people to comment is really good practice, but forcing to comment just so that you can post a photo just brings up the "empty comment spam effect". And it gets worse when rules forces you to include the group badge, logo or yet another blinking image in comments. From time to time there are glimpses of honesty and sincerity that make things a bit easier to bare. Thank you for your post! ;) Just like @Anne I found this post through DPS, and I must say You sure hit the spot.
