HDR Composites

So this is one of my first HDR composites. Some photographers at the recent conference I attended were selling some HDR templates, but I wanted to create my own. I wanted to do the whole process. I'm stubborn that way. I don't like to use others hard work. I had fun with this one. Still some refining to do, but I'm so proud of myself for doing it all from scratch. The tires and background are things from around our ranch that I threw together to get this picture. I also removed the "destination A/T" from the tire and put "country boy" on it. All in all it was a fun, new thing to do. I love to learn new things and challenge myself. I happened to take a picture of this little boy sitting on a stool on a bridge in the nice sunshine. I extracted him from that (no white or green screen behind him).
