    Please go easy, I'm a beginner :)
    This is a pseudo HDR - one image shot in raw on my D70 18-70

    Picture taken from Annamoe looking down towards Dublin to the Northwest (the air was clear in Annamoe but was misty/hazy in Dublin that's why it looks a bit blurry in the top left)

    It's pretty, em, different? Yeah it really doesn't work tbh, the sky is way off the rest of the photo. maybe try converting it to b&w?

    Oh dear, I love the sky part of the photo!, being a weather nut I suppose that goes with the territory, hope its not universally hated :(

    Personally, with a fine landscape like this, I would expect it to look at least somewhat natural, I don't think that I have ever seen something quite like this even though I'm up and down country roads every day.

    It looks a bit shiney to me, maybe upping the contrast might help.

    I like shiny but understand what you mean.
    I reckon with a GND filter I could make something a lot more natural without the excesses of tone mapping.

    Why bother with HDR?

    It makes everything look false to me ...

    I think I agree with Hugh, it would be a great photo without HDR. Do you have the original to post? I like the image, it's a nice landscape shot.
    I tried HDR twice but I didn't get good results. I do like some HDR images though. Maybe viewed extra large this would be easier on the eye too.. there seems to be too much going on in such a small space...

    In my opinion it looks as though you've tried a bit too hard and played with too much in the one image. Although in saying that, if it was to be printed on a big canvas and blurred a bit you could try and pass it off as a painting ;)


    Keep em comin'!

    Can't say much about HDR (my lack of knowledge not your photo) but based on previous comment, I actually like it as a B/W conversion. As a B/W - a little bit of softness could be added. It is quite dramatic which i think has come from your HDR attempt. Maybe this suggestion takes it out of the HDR intention of your original purpose but just thought i add to the original suggestion.

    Cheers.
