I believe that is from the sprinkler that was going off when I took the picture. He is correct that I did use the HDR tool on my phone though. I didn’t realize this community was only for professional photographers…
You can use high dynamic range functions to get a lot of great detail and depth in your photos. But “too much” can have the inverse effect. Ex: look at the bright spot of grass on the right just below the parking lot. See how it kind of looks like a jus a mass of green texture? That’s the HDR tool failing to properly render the scene you’re trying to capture.
The HDR tools on a phone camera can definitely aid in some situations. But when you flick the slider all the way in one direction and post a random snapshot of a utility pole, I would expect some amount of constructive criticism in the form of jokes.
