    That original one is a very beautiful and peaceful image and my favorite of the bunch. thumb.gifthumb I think it would gain a lot by cropping out that partial row of crosses and background tree on the right leaving just a bit of the open space between the first row and the new right edge.

    A beautiful place. Nice HDR work.
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    I'm not usually a big fan of HDR images because a lot of times they are too unreal looking to me, but these are fantastic. I absolutely love the first image. (and it looks better with the new crop) Remove the crane there and it's spot on! Great set. thumb.gif

    At first I thought "how could I have missed that crane in the original post?" But then saw that when you did the crop from the original, you forgot to remove it. I do think this is a nice improvement. I like how the rows of crosses now seem to emanate from a single point. Now if you could only arrange to have that building demolished... :D

    I like the pictures! As far as the HDR work is, you have not gone overboard which IMO is good, but there is some halos around the photos which should be removed.

    what are halos are those when 2 pictures combined ( overlapping something that seems to be 2 picture super imposed )? or the glowing of the tree for example? ne_nau.gif

    newly improved through your C&C
    Tnx Guys...thumb.gif
    hope i can clone better...
    but if you don't know the building exist is it still noticable on the bad cloning?
    just started using cs a few days ago...
    Please don't tell me to remove the other trees also.. :D but it really seems to be better ( for me ) if just 1 tree left standing...

    Yes, the halos are around the edges, generally where there is a lot of contrast. If you used Photomatix on these,, a lot of times the halos can be lessened by using less aggressive settings for Strength and Color Saturation.
