trying out a new workflow.
re-did this chinatown picture.
not sure if what i did was logical a not. please give me some advice, but please dont flame me, im not very savvy at post processing yet.
basically what i did was
1.) took 3 exposures
2.) editted the 3 exposures slightly, adjusting the highlights and the shadows on the underexposed and over exposed respectively.
3.) edited stuff like saturation, contrast, blacks and whites slightly.
4.) merge the 3 raws in cs6 hdr pro, export back to lr4 in 32 bit and do the final editting.
the previous picture is this

I believe you are unsure of your results because suddenly you felt the redone image has lost the "sunset vibe". That is what overprocessing does. In all honesty, I prefer the earlier image you posted, it felt like I was looking at a sunset/evening time image. The newly tweaked image is more like a shot taken in the afternoon in a very polluted Singapore (the yellow clouds at the back). So in that sense, this image has been over processed and lost its bearings.
Again, this is just my opinion. Art is subjective, and most importantly, you must like what you have done. It is your own style.

It really depends on you which is better as microcosm mentioned. Just like some like HDR some don't. The edited one is not a bad processing either if you just present the audience as it is. Just a matter of preference.
The previous one works for me as I prefer bluehour with some sunset + starburst and lit snake gives a distinct leading line to pinnacle, it looks strange that the edited version looks quite different from the first. Perhaps one/more of your exposure was just before the lights were turned on (before you process on hdr pro)? I'm not familiar with cs6 so I'm speculating here. On previous shot, I would increase the contrast and sat a little more, and perhaps curves to bring out the sunset a little more? There's not really much that needs to be done on the previous imo

Some colour ones
all with OMD and 45mm 1.8

i suspect i might have used the "wrong" files for HDR-ing, therefore explaing the glowing and non-glowing snake
anyway thanks for the comments, but i feel that the 2nd 1 might work better for me, i feel that i prefer the colors
Some La Defence shots taken with 7-14mm which i bought from a bro just a day before i fly to Paris for work, and EPL5 body.

I quite like both, got different feel when looking at either, I just find the lack of colors in the sky a bit odd for an HDR unless you're aiming for a more natural look. When I do HDR, I usually go for a more saturated look but depending on what it is, I may process it more natural. A bit weird that you'll processed the raws then combine into HDR and then process it again
