Ah ok, yes, it is my favorite as well no doubt :)

[zacker]

wow i love 1 and 2, in #3 id add just a touch of warmth but thats only my taste.. also the original lighthouse photo can stand on its own even without the HDR... good job!!!

[canonnoob]

Hey you have some sensor dust in the right of the photo...

Yes :(

No. 2 goes to show if you have a more awesome original
you get a more awesome tonemapped hdr!
No. 1 is also very cool.
In 3 the foreground is so light compared to the back half
that it seems like a different light source;
the dark halo at its upper edge only accentuates that break.
Thanks for sharing.

lots of comments already, I'm sure it's all been said but MY GOD you have a lot of dust on your sensor!! either that or you were SWARMED with Midgies or something. lol

You know, i change my lens too much, and i forgot to bring my blower with me during that trip, i went with a photographer in just 1 day around there and i was changing the lenses all the time, so for sure my 5D will get dust much enough, so what i can do?
I hope my MKIII's if they have that internal cleaning sensor working for say about 70-85% then this will help me a lot, can't go and clean my sensor manually all the time in one day for everyday during my travel.

Really nice work Tareq :)

In my opinion, there are only two kinds of HDR that work.... underdone HDR, and overdone HDR. There is no middle-ground :)

And i can do the both s well, just i prefer mostly that overdone.

Thank you very much :)

#2 is great. I also like the original. But the HDR really pops the image

Yes, that is a tripod leg, too bad i didn't clone it out.

I can't remember the locations, but for the second and third it was in Rhue in Scotland, somewhere in Highlands area.

Scotland's a beautiful spot, I love Glasgow
