_MG_5777_8_9_tonemapped2

Reworked image to tone down the sky--better, or still "too much". Thanks,

Karen

Exaggerated? Maybe a little bit! Looks great anyway!

Best regards Karen!

Karen,  Better, yes.  This is like an eye test (joking) - "better one or better two, asks the ophthalmologist?"  Karen, I do prefer this to your earlier image, but how about an even more natural rendition?  I am not giving you a hard time.  The answer is/will be in what you like about this image.  I really like what you have done with this scene and would like to see it with the sky as you saw it.  Thanks for putting up with my comments.  Best regards.  Larry

Here is the original, mid-range exposure.  Seems rather dull to me, which is why I tried the HDR technique.  

Karen,

Nice sharp contrast and good water reflection.
