Nice - you've processed it with a good balance between an overdone HDR and the standard photo.

 

[Vipernet]

Very nice mate. I really need to try this HDR lark

 

[Mohain]

Nice!

 

[Mikharper]

I had my first go of doing one before, like the results - nice colours!

 

[ElDude]

I like that. Very arty. Make it A2 and frame it

 

[Mint_Sauce]

I really like your pic, great colours and tones! Can we see the original?

 

[divine`]

Certainly can, using cykeys guide I also made a +2 and a -2 exposure from the same RAW and then used Photomatix to combine them...

Gorgeous. Thats exactly how HDR should look. I was getting fed up of all the over done tone mapping before.

Very well done

As nice as it is to recieve all these lovely compliments, the comment I appreciated most was probably the critique from hoodmeister on MSN regarding composition and the wideness of the picture.

You people need to be more critical!

Personally I think its a good photo, there are just a few annoying things.

The noise, while the equipment could have been the limiting factor in this I think its down to the HDR process, looking at the noise in the bottom right corner is very distracting, the sand seems to emphasise it even more.

The saturation of this photo is interesting, it really adds to the impact and make gives it the wow factor, but as with most HDr photos it doesn't quite look real. Its a lot better than some HDRs I have seen but I'm still not convinced about how great HDR is.
