Working
I appreciate the dynamic range of this image. I can tell it is HDR and I know how difficult that can be to process and make it look real. I work with bracketing and HDR processing in every single landscape imagew that I photograph. When an HDR image starts showing the ghostly haloing throughout the image, it is clearly an HDR image. While that is not my preference as an artist, it might be yours and that is okay! I would consider reprocessing in Lightroom as an HDR image to see if you could eliminate the "HDR look." Also, the car reflection on the right side of the image is pulling my eye away. I think cropping that out would really help it. You've captured the insanity of kitchen life, but the image also invokes an almost "lonely" feel. Great juxtaposition of the "feels."
