Boat dock on the Delaware River

Trying to use HDR to achieve a "painterly" look. C&C appreciated. Thanks!

Hey Linda,

Interesting subject, but for feedback I'd say crop that image way down, to make the river boat & dock your main focal point. That will get rid of most of that greenery that's not adding anything to the image, and in HDR form, really detracts from your subject.

YMMV of course

Thanks for looking and for commenting, Rob. So much for playing around, eh?

I'm not sure how much more I can crop. I'll have to take a look at it when I get home tonight.

I'm not Rob, but let me add something here.

Playing around:
I am one of "playing around's" biggest fans. I think that "playing around" is what sparks ones creativity. I semi-regularly get on a small soapbox about people trying to corral a photographers path/vision, trying to squeeze them back "into the box".

I've said it many a time here: If your happy ~ I'm happy

Don't let anything I, or anyone else tells you, de-rail you from your image vision/goals.

OOPS! lol3 Sorry about that. Nothing like fat-fingering a name and getting it all wrong.

Actually, I like playing around and trying different things. If they work, fine. If not, oh well.
