Thanks, heres what i meant. Im still kinda thinking this is a bit overprocessed.
You see that looks quite nice, because it's not overdone, this is what HDR should be like.
First HDR C&C if you will?

It wasn't a dig at you mate, I commend you for trying, and it's good to try new things. I think some people on here just take photography a bit too seriously

I didnt take it as one
I gotta start somewhere right? Im certain some people will have a lot more time for it than others, and the pro's or those who make a living from Photography are sure to have strong views when us newbs post garbage. I enjoy taking pics, and if i get a few good ones from time to time even better! Its good to have wise folk around to point you in the right direction too
I adjusted the curves a little to make it look better
haha love it!

Don't take what I say to mean anything regarding photography, I'm very much a "noob".

I haven't posted in here cos I thought everything had been said, but I'm bored...
Regardless of HDR I think sometiems it's good sometimes not. In this instance all it seems to have done is muddy the picture, bring out what looks like a luminous apple core in the foreground and the sky. But looking at the orginal snaps, the Sky basically looks like the sky in the second pic. I could have mixed the 2 exposures but it was a quick edit...
The original picture to me is... Far too dark (it reminds me of Quake 1 - all shades of brown )
There to me seemed to be no focal point. I found my eyes wondering looking at the image.
The central pipe is too central. Too the right of the pipe is..uh. pretty uninteresting. I orginally just cropped all that out and kept the beach, but decided it looked better as a wide aspect. Perhaps could have left more of the beach.
Corrected the horizon. Is there a slight curvature on the horizon? Barrel distortion?
Brightened the image.. I thought the greens, and is it some sunlight shining through for the yellow patches? to be quite nice.
I didn't even realise there were people on the beach, now that I see them it's better.
Burned a little bit of the sky (badly) to remove the over exposed white parts.
Could be improved further IMO by : layign the horizon on the bottom third, rather than the quarter (more beach)
Making the sky more blue, perhaps by using the second exposure.
Warmed + increased satuaration. I like a warm saturated image.
