Japanese Garden, HDR attempt

Interested in comments & tips, this was my first successful HDR

attempt. Thanks!

Hi Mathew, Not bad for a first try at HDR. One thing I thought that could have been improved on was the focus. I think one of the most important things is a tripod for HDR and of couse all the other things like the timer and maybe even mirror lockup. I think for a successful HDR everything should be pin sharp. My guess but what do I know...lol

I agree with Mark. I think this is a wonderful shot, with great composition, colors, the Buddha and the red bridge are especially amazing. But the first thing I noticed was the lack of clear focus, especially on the foreground pebbles and, really, everything. Very lush, though, and a really nice start to this kind of work.
