    It's a beautiful image. I edited your post so that the image shown in-line instead of requiring folks to click on a link. You'll get a lot more views this way. If this is objectionable to you, I'll be happy to switch it back.

    Lovely! HDR shows a bit, but very beautiful scene!

    Oh...nicely done HDR with very eye catching color. I like the preserved detail as well such as the beaten paint on the boat.

    So besides some of the HDR showing, no one is noticing the compositing? Nothing looks added or taken away?

    I spent a ton of time doing the detail work as I plan to print this huge, and just wanted to run it by a few fresh eyes.

    Riddles are not my thing. If you cloned something out, you did a great job as nothing jumps out. The bright blue under the building on right bugs me some....it is distracting. If you like it, then good for you!

    HDR always introduces slight ghosting effect....in this case it might be adding something to it...while taking aways just a little bit of natural look.

    Cheers!

    15524779-Ti.gif The blue looks wrong to me, but the rest looks fine. The light does have that HDR compressed look a bit, but the colors are discreet and the overall image is lovely.

    The blue under the building was there, but now that you point it out...

    I cloned out two other boats, I removed ropes that were in the foreground. I replaced a clouded sky with a sunset and then reflected that sunset in the water. I increased the size of the buildings in the distance, and those colors on the boat that is left, I painted on using the pallete from the new sky.

    So if you looked at it and none of that stands out, I did alright.

    I might take that blue out from under the building. Thanks for the help.

    Wow, I salute you for your heroics. If the blue was there, you needn't remove it, just tone it down a bit by desaturating and/or darkening it so that it isn't so strong.
