Painted Merced View

A georgeous fall day in Yosemite valley, This image was a composite of

images combined in PhotoMatixs and then further touched up in

Photoshop. Please comment

Aesthetically, this is a beautiful shot. The HDR here makes it look like a very detailed painting.

 

Well composed, with good lighting and reflections.

Just looking at the thumbnail, I said "HDR" because of the relative flatness of the lighting and lack of depth. The composition is wonderful.

Lovely shot with excellent composition. One of the better compositions I've seen lately. I'd echo Stephens comments on the flatness of the image. I find my HDRs more attractive if I bump up the contrast ( some times drastically ) in PS after optomizing in Photomatix. Nice work!

All the best,

Neil

A fine composition but I'd prefer a bit more conservative PS-work

I like this picture. Your flag balloon photo is great also. thanks.
