Pure photo - No post processing applied

I finally have it uploaded just now! Apologies for the inconvenience. ;)

Our ISP was having problems earlier and had to walk them through solving their technical problems the whole night!

Can you imagine? I'm supposed to be the customer! Grrrr....

----------------------------------
Anyway, I am posting here three version of the photos.

I recenty downloaded the Photomatix 3 for HDR processing and if I were to judge the performance, I find the photo processed using Photomatix 3.0 more appealing.

If you are particular with lights, which I've been recently into, you would notice that the contrast is so much better with the 3.0.

For purists photographers in Photoblog, I have also added the original photo so you would see the difference.

Be the judge.

makaid lol. In this case your hdr work excels. Some people don't use the tools properly. But in your case you have a unique style of editing your portraits that I would recognize anytime.

The purist thought of photography is just an opinion. People have an opinion on everything, I wouldn't take it to seriously. Especially if it would cause you to deviate from your style.

maygarcia Both postprocessed photos are awesome, Doi! I also prefer the third version of Photomatix. Her skin looks flawless-very flattering. However, with the postprocessed photos you can't see the water droplet on her skin. What's the story on this one by the way? Is that a fishnet on the background? :)
