anyone seen this guy on flickr called kriskros, i just came across his hdr images and WOW! i've done a few hdr images using photmatix but i really don't understand how he gets his pictures to look the way they do, the sky so blue the colors so vivid! reminds me a bit of dave hill style. anyone know what he does cos these aren't just hdr pics they have got other things going on in them too? thanx in advance!

i would say lucas art ..

I think you mean... LUCIS Art (http://www.lucisart.com/)

I have drooled over Kris Kros work before, Have you read his opening page ?

also if you go to the hdr pool and put tutorials in the search you will get quite a few come up but sadly not Kris's ( just as well really as i need to upgrade pc and software before i can join in the real fun )

used qtpfsgui create the HDR and tonemap it from 1 dng and some photoshop softlight layers to get this result

Frankly speaking - i have seen tons of work from various artists like this before. Its a combination of using both Lucis Art and HDR tool like Photomatix.
The trick of course is to start with a good image!
