This one is great.... Not exactly a critique I know...If I had done it I would have cropped the sky a bit closer.. I favor the wider look... Just opinion of course. congrats Ken

Rules are made to be broken.... I do it all the time.. ;} .....Ken

HDR can be a beautiful thing if done properly..although many don't like it.... I am a fan. Just a couple things.. the image would be better if the subject were not centered... and the tone mapping is just a tad over done for my taste. Great creativity.. that's a huge part of the process as far as I'm concerned... Ken

Stunning colors...Too bad that tree cuts the view of the falls... Probably a good thing we can't control nature ;)... Congrats Ken

Great perspective... too bad the umbrellas weren't equal in height... Rgdrs Ken

Nice vantage point for the shot...The water however seems almost too blue..could be my craptastic monitor at work. Otherwise very nice image. Congrats Ken

Very well done....right out of the Middle Ages. congrats Ken

IMO this photo would be more effective with falls in focus rather than the foreground. The colors are good though. ...Ken

Thanks for the info... guess patience pays off..I'll be going back to this spot 1st of September I'll try again.... Ken

These shots never cease to amaze me... Was the water that calm or something done in post. I've sat on several lakes and never been able to capture the water like that... I just did it a few days ago waited 3 hours almost lost the sun before I shot. The best of those attempts are in my port if you care to look..Under landscapes "Lake View" is the title... Ken

Well done HDR.....it adds just the right amount saturation. Must be Middle Earth... Congrats Ken

 

Great comp and colors...My eye is lead right down the water and to the mountain. Congrats Ken

 

Fantastic color and comp....Congrats... Ken

 

Nice perspective...I like to "tweak" to use the term loosely and this would make a fun HDR image. I also like the DOF. Congrats Ken

Very nice comp...I'm a fan of these types of works. I also like darker images...gives some mystery to the place.

Good perspective...however the sky appears blown to me...a little post processing could make a very nice image..

Stunning view...Congrats Ken

Here's my version -- again just an opinion.

 

I'm an HDR fan (just look in my port) So I think the treatment is right for the image.

 

1. is it a true HDR or just a filter?

2. Too much sky for my tastes.

3. I think the focal point should be the tanks..So i would have cropped totally different.

4. A little more curve or contrast adjustment could make it more dramatic.

5. Good for the 1st go IMHO...:}

 

Fantastic Work...

Nice.. Colors are great against the sky.. Comp is good. The detail very good, even the reflection in the green car. If there was more of the image I would have cropped different. Just an Opinion... I'm a huge HDR Fan..I love the realism or surrealism which ever is created by the artist.

I use the latest versions of the Corel Products...I'm not that versed in Photoshop so this is the best I can give you...Google says -- http://www.lunacore.com/photoshop/tutorials/tut020.htm

Here's a quick fix...This of course is just opinion...Ken

I think the comp is good but some serious skin smoothing would make it much more flattering...Maybe even a touch of glamour filter... Ken

 

I like it very much... I've done a few of these for people and they love it. So what if it is cliche'..Do what you like and if others like it as much so be it. I might have adjusted the gamma up just a tad. My 2 pennies (another fine cliche')

 

Congrats Ken.
