you can't add a signature or date in photoshop? 😕

needs to be bigger for me to tell, but i highly doubt it's an oil painting.


actual flickr page

not much info but it says it's taken with a Rebel XTi, so I'm guessing the water and sky is real, but heavily HDRed and the dolphins and people on the left are photoshopped in or something.

signature looks like part of the image rather than superimposed...but at low res that could be jpeg/reduction artifacts.

Or the picture of the oil painting was taken with an XTi....

if it's a photoshop composition, there's more than just HDR processing on the sky and water. I suppose he could have gone to the trouble to try to fake that cheeseball oil look (there's an Australian painter whose name I forget who does alot of seascapes like this, primarily published in calenders and children's books). But that seems pretty silly to me.

either way, I don't like the image.
 
so for hdr all u do is take a single picture and use a software program to make it look like that?

and HDR image is usually composed of several images taken at different exposure levels. the linked wiki will provide more information.
 
The only thing that makes me doubt it isn't HDR, and it totally CG are the dolphins. To have so many leap out like that perfectly, and have such a nice angle makes me want to say 'nahhhhhh'.
