HDR – desaturated selection

We’ve all seen HDR is some shape or form by now, but I was wondering, what would it look like if only a portion of the photo was HDR?

Rather than show you my experiments (and bore the pants off you) I found the best results came from, not only making a portion HDR, but the remaining part of the photo, to be desaturated.

Isolating subjects, such as the car above, work well with this style. I don’t think it lends itself to landscapes, for example, but why not experiment, it costs nothing.
