Wow Bettie, Very impressive. Excellent post work. Take care 7/7a

Thanks everyone. Especially because I've come back to this badly scanned in slide photo often to try and recreate the effect the view had on me two years ago. After many many trial and errors I now feel I managed to grasp my way with PS through the blandness of the image I started with. Your nod of approval is very valuable.

A great HDR image.....great post processing...7/7.....Anil

nice hdr image??? i must say, that i wouldnt consider this what i saw with my bare 'eye' type of picture. if you wanted a more 'natural' effect, i would think that you ease up on the tones. the halos on the upper left of the weathered wood sticks out, and my eye tends to drive to it. plus, the clouds dont quite do justice. they look a little pasty and somewhat fake. the dark areas of the nearby cliff and the evergreens really make the transition to the distant plateaus very difficult to follow. it seems that everyone has their own opinion about HDR composition. i guess its just the effects that you are going for. you did compose the picture well.
