Good catch, Dan, LOL! :)
It took me a few minutes to realize who/what the other being was. On the thumbnail, it kind of blended into the white background.
As in the previous image, I'm not quite sure if HDR was the appropriate technique to use here. By balancing the relative levels of the foreground, middle, and background, it sort of forces the whole image to be evaluated as a whole. So when I first saw the image, I could not immediately see the subject, the background distracts by its clarity.
Maybe it's because I've been doing this for so long, but I've learned to compose while taking into account light and shadow, even to the point of understanding the limitations of the medium with its differing dynamic range. In film, that would be the difference between shooting slide or negative, color or black and white. In the digital world, that means understanding and working within the limitations of the sensor (as the medium).
HDR sort of flattens the image, and takes away some of the creative palette, so to speak. Just my .02.
I think there is a place for the technique though, just not in my personal type of work so far.
I would love to see your continued experimentation in this area, especially now that you have the tools to work in HDR.

Warren thanx for the thoughtful critique on my use of light and composition. This was not a HDR, but I think in order to improve the image perhaps some cropping and Masking to bring the focus to my intended subject might improve the image for the viewer. Good points.
Dan
Oops! It fooled me... good thing my critique also sort of applies to whatever you did to this picture. :P
--Warren
I also fully understand that sometimes when a scene unfolds in front of your eyes, there is no time to select the right lens and angle, you just have to take the picture with what you have, and work within the timing of the shot.
You just have to hope the for best, and hope that post-processing can help.

Some additional pp based upon Warren's comments and the need to bring attention to my intended subject
