day twenty three | love and dreams

day twenty three | love and dreams..

love yes..
dreams.. not so much

Here's my uncleaned kitchen as I scramble to get day 23 up. This is not my initial idea for the day but I had a couple of things come up that restricted my time.

This is my second attempt at an HDR photo which was a combination of Photomatix and Photoshop. I played with multiple layers, curves, levels and sharpening to gain this effect. A little burn here and there and saturation adjustments. You can see the darkness of the rest of my apartment making an entrance at the left.

Are there any HDR veterans that could chime in and give me some tips, advice, and/or direction? I'd really appreciate it!
