Nicely done! If you hadn't mentioned it was HDR, I would not have guessed.

I like the contrast between the cool blue and the warm tones in the fishing boat. Compositionally, I like the shape of the boat and the angle you chose. I really like the way the rope leading and ladder add to the composition and mood. To me, they evoke a human element. Without them it could be just an abandoned boat.

Great image!

I can tell this is an HDR but it is not an overdone one. The processing works very well with image because of the boat and the beach.

Couple comments:

The white in the sail (?) and the cloud to the rear of the boat appear to be blown.

I personally think this world work better in a portrait orientation rather than a horizontal. Since it seems to be local if can be re-shot and see what you think.

Just tone the HDR a tad more. Little much in the shoreline and the ladder.

Welcome to dgrin and keep posting!!

Beautiful shot and I love the composition. Yeah, maybe the foreground could be toned down a bit as it looks a little hot and leads the eye away from the more interesting aspects. The white object on the bow (is that just an extension of the spine of the boat?) does seem to lack detail, although the pixels aren't blown out. Or if they were, they were recovered but lost the detail. That's a relatively small nit on an otherwise excellent image.

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

with the foreground maybe being a touch too bright for the image, but I think whether or not to change this depends on what you're looking to do. I think this photo will do great as digital art because the whole scene looks surreal as it is. Having extremely-dramatic lighting like what HDR gives you wouldn't be a bad thing at all, in this case!
