Hot Water + Limestone + HDR

Well one either likes HDR or not, no hiding it here and I couldn't go halfway

with any of the settings.

I like HDR's when done right, and this one is one of the best I have seen.

I'm a big fan of HDR as well, and this is an absolutely incredible shot. I love the tonal range, the beautiful clouds, and the story-like yellows and oranges in this shot.

HDR can make possible photos that were previously impossible.  Here, I find the lighting to be quite flat.  As a result, it is more of a caricature than a realistic rendition of the place.  If that was your goal, you've succeeded and many viewers will like the photo.

Ok, I am not a fan of HDR but I like this image.  You did not overdue the processing and the image looks realistic.  It looks more as if you used a polarizer.  Nice job.
