It's amazing how HDR can pop the sky and bring out the textures. Your faint but huge watermark scrawled across the image really threw me for a loop though until I figured out what it was. It's a shame you feel the need to deface your image like that.

When/if your livelihood starts showing up on other people's commercial websites without permission, you'll understand why I do that. That type of watermarking was chosen after several of my images were screen-captured and then had the "standard" watermark cropped right out of them. The change has not negatively effected sales, and I've had zero images stolen since I started doing it. When people are looking online for prints to purchase, they expect to find that type of watermark. There are many photographers selling lots of images whose watermarks are much more visible, in fact, many have a giant X through them.

Btw, I do not "feel the need to deface" my images. That was a presumptuous and unkind way to say it. Two other DGers in the past have made comments about my watermarks, but at least they were kind about it.
