But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I like HDR but they're way toooooooo much. Some of them have an abstract appeal, but other than the odd few I think most of them are horrid.

There's a couple of images that look good with his OTT style, but the rest are making my eyes bleed

Looks waaay too synthetic!
Also look at the noise in the side of the car. Unless it was purposefully put there...  :undecided:

Bit gashy and OTT for me.

Interesting spot on the noise katy - I think it's actually just shoddy technique though. Side of the car was dark and rather than using multiple exposures to get everything captured right he's just used 1 RAW file and tried to drag as much detail out of it as possible which on really underexposed bits will give some serious noise.

i like them. the subject matter suits the hdr treatment down to a tee. The interior shots especially so

I don't think this kind of treatment would be suitable for landscapes or other subject matter but in this case I think the images work.

Looks like a filter was used in Photoshop, and then saturated the colours to f**k!
