- Support sharpness and light are so-so, but the composition and atmosphere are stunning! --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 08:28, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

Neutral Cool image, great composition, great subject, fairly decent crop. But the image is extremely "dry", I thought it was shot on film on an older stock (or perhaps overkill HDR) and was surprised to see it was done with a D90. I think the problem for me is the harsh lighting and the lack of fill light on the subject (obviously not always the easiest thing to "bring"). I feel like maybe some recovery was done in the shadows. I also feel the image to have a strange oversharpness/softness effect I can't explain, so perhaps the lens was no good or the image was over-processed. The rear end of the horse might be a little overblown, along with the cuirassier's left knee/thigh. Interesting background, interesting overall image, so I couldn't oppose, but I couldn't support either. – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 15:56, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
- No HDR was done (in fact, I've never tried this technique) and sure, it may be time for me to consider buying a better lens. --Myrabella (talk) 21:55, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
Question How can you do HDR with a moving subject? --Jovian Eye talk 01:21, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
- I should clarify that the HDR "thought" was only for a flash-moment. People HDR images of moving subjects (rivers/water, boaters, etc.) all the time, and while I cannot vouch for its technical authenticity, one simply has to create a second or third image of varying contrast/brightness from the same image. If an original RAW file can contain up to 11 stops of latitude within the photographic image, then the information can probably be filled and/or recovered to, say, one extreme or the other (overexposure and underexposure) with the original being properly exposed (for example). These three images can then be combined and an HDR look achieved. I've never done it myself; I'm assuming this is how it's done otherwise. With a single RAW image, simply filling in the shadows by brightening them even gives a sort of HDR appearance; so only one image is used. The information is already there. I do that all the time, for better or worse. : ) – Kerαunoςcopia◁galaxies 04:31, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
