Editing with NIK software

My earlier point about the meaning of "HDR" was simply to clarify. Many people dismiss HDR not for what it actually is, but for the way that the term has come to represent what it is not.

I also wrote that my preference is for realism in photographs, but that statement is not anti-creativity. Realism is to do with the appearance of the image and/or the things within the image - my preference is for the content of an image to appear as human vision would perceive it.

Back in March, I was in the churchyard in Marlow just before sunset, when the sunlight was almost horizontal, and it had that bright orange evening glow. I was attracted by an old wooden bench and considered a shot. However, I thought that this was even more interesting:

Shrub and Bench:
   

Processing has been applied to the camera image - slight cropping, perspective correction, small adjustments to colour, saturation, brightness, contrast, clarity, sharpness - all with the purpose of enhancing the realism of the shot. But is the resulting image not also an example of creative photography?

[ Pentax K-5 IIs at ISO 400; 18-135 zoom lens at 68mm and f/16; 1/60s; -0.7EV; editing in PaintShop Pro X8 ]

Cheers.
