The Old Mill Pond (HDR)

Jack'll do

Took these awhile ago, never got around to posting them. It's actually a dammed portion of the Westfield river in western Massachusetts hence the safety floats.

C&C much appreciated.

Very nice. I'm not a fan of HDR (they always seem to be WAY overdone), but these are fantastic

I really like #1, it looks like it was shot on film.

Very nice and a great reflection, that water is like glass.

Thank you very much. I too don't care for most "extreme" HDR images.

Nice work here. #1 seems a bit noisy? Or maybe the images merged for HDR were not exactly aligned? But it's not very crisp.

Thanks jeff. I don't see any noise but I agree in the lack of crispness. The shots were taken from a bridge over the river. All shots toward the mill were very hazy whike those on the other side were clear. This was likely a single image HDR using PS3 so its not a matter of alignment.

Thanks Joe. It might be worth noting (especially in view of Jeff's noting the lack of crispness in #1) that the Westfield river flows down under the bridge I was standing on and was extremely flat due to an upstream dam as noticed in the reflections in #2 and #3. The mill is down stream from the bridge. The water between the bridge and the mill was much agitated due to the confluence of another flow coming in from the right of image #1 and flowing over the downstream dam which is to the immediate left of image #1.
