I had visited Alaska in September and had some shots that I was finally working on. THis is one of the few I have done using HDR.

I had no idea how to do anything with HDR and am just learning. So appreciate any critiques. Personally I like the picture to look as realistic as possible and avoid those cartoonish style look.

THis one borders that I think, but it is how I saw it when I was there.

    I think you did a good job on the HDR, it's not overdone.

    Very nicely done the HDR effect is not over done which s nice but really brings out the dynamic range. Were you using Photomatix?

    It looks fine other than the black clouds. They're a bit too dark ne_nau.gif

    I agree. The clouds are unnaturally dark. Tone them down a bit and you'll have a nice image.

    Yes it was Photomatix. In CS3 I didn't get a hang of it. I wil try and tone down the clouds. Thanks for everyone's comments. :)
