Last one, I promise. An attempt @ HDR. Too saturated...fake looking? Maybe could work as a surreal type image, maybe as a deliberate attempt. :dunno

    Like it. I often like more saturated HDR's.
    Like the lines, colors, loneness of the tree....

    I don't think the saturation is too much. I like it. I don't think there is enough contrast. For an HDR pic, highlights still looks blown out. It looks like exposure was set on the field for your sky portion. The sunrise looks like it has some interesting detail, but it's blown out. Maybe some simple level adjustment would do the trick. I think the tree should be total black as well.

    I think they call them dreamscapes? Looks like any minute now I'm going to run screaming across it chased by giant spiders.
    I really like the soft cotton candy colours of the sky and the astroturf green grass. It's a very warm place even though the tree is alone.

    Wouldn't it be really neat as a fish eye? Like a little painted world of its own?

    "... Too saturated...fake looking?"

    For my taste, yes and yes.

    Well done. But I agree with John68.

    I really like this image! it has emotion and lots of color..and leading lines right up to the lone tree..but it needs contrast..like others have said. just doing curves for the forground grass to bring out detail especially to bring out the lines..and then again for the sky..and yeah the tree needs to be darker. and this is going to look awesome. there are plenty of people around here that can help you with making you image look better in photoshop. btw keep posting stuff like this I really like itthumb.gif
