Great shots. Can't believe they are already at peak. Gonna be little left for the festival this year.

Very nice... Out of curiosity I would love to see HDR's of these simply because of the highlight blowout... but what you have is really super...

I must confess that I'm not an HDR specialist. I have Photomatix Pro installed and have used it a few times, but am usually disappointed with the results (they come out 'cartoonish' regardless of how I adjust the settings).

I didn't bracket these shots with multiple exposures, so I'd be limited to a pseudo-HDR. Here's an example of one.

All really well done

Nice work

These are very nice, concord977. The panos look great in larger sizes. 2 and 7 are my favorites.

I'm fairly new to HDR as well, but when going for a more natural look I use the Fusion Adjusted method and avoid Tonemapping.

You have some nice work in your galleries. I've bookmarked your page for when I have time to peruse. I'd love to visit DC someday.

I'm not proficient with HDR either... Which is my curiosity of these... Love what you're showing...
