I was going for a gritty 3D look, not HDR. The halos can come from just playing with contrast and levels, NOT necessarily with "HDR preset sliders".

This is the last of Collioure till September. The guy in the water is a very keen pro photographer. I wish I could see his photos but I don't know his name.

An interesting scene ruined by severe processing, sorry. This hyper-real HDR-look just makes everything appear gaudy and unreal; subtlety is the key!

Seems a bit over-processed with the softness but I do like the colors throughout the image

It's a great scene and slice of life but it's way over processed.

HDR hurts this one - not necessary and it creates ghosting around the guy in red. terrific capture and moment. gl.

consider sizing to 600 on the vertical so it all fits without scoring - sky is a bit grainy - 6
