Another excellent shot. It almost looks painted.

Thanks Debby _ thats the tone mapping process in Photomatix.

I kinda like this Toney. Seems it mighta been rather mundane in its more natural colors.

Thx too Don.

Did you only do the Tone Mapping or is it HDR too ?

The picture looks surreal which according to me doesn't look good. The grey skye isn't very appeling either, sorry..

As I stated its tone mapping from a single raw + 16 bit tiff the sky was pretty much wasted in the original _ its really no different than someone using layers to add a beautiful blue sky to replace a blown out one I just chose to leave it as the tone mapping results.

Its your opinion and your entitled to it, which isn't a problem with me.

Can I see the original? I like the composition and subject, but I'm not crazy about the HDR part.

took a minute as I had to run a raw conversion and processed in PSE 4. Keep in mind the first image isn't an HDR. Single LDR tone mapped is all.

I actually prefer the original, but that's just my opinion. :)
