Colorful

This is a HDR shot of Buerqin river in Xinjiang autonomous region.

This is the spot where we camped on the first night, on the way to

Hemu. Its a 5 shots HDR merge, tone mapped image, shot handheld.

Thanks for your comments.

Looks almost like a painting! nice shot

Very pretty, but I'm afraid the halo over the trees on the left detracts a bit. Some HDR programs allow to adjust sliders to minimize that effect. Lovely sky as well! Looks like a great place to camp! Were you boating as well?

Greg: That was not a boatable river, it was quite shallow.

 

And I agree the comment about white halo...looks a bit odd.

I like the overall effect, its very pretty.

Keep up the great work....

... you might be using too many source images. Have you tried a narrower range of images, that might minimize the halo effect and give you better results. Nice thing about HDR, you can do many experiments on a couple of shots.

Dennis: I didnt experiment much, I did played around with some settings which gave this image, which I liked pretty much except for white halo. I guess I still have source files, will try out with lesser files as suggested by u. Thanks.

This one is a brilliant piece of art, almost a painting. Well done
