These are good, quite natural looking.

How is that first one HDR? It cannot be from 3 separate shots is right?
I love the 3rd pic you posted.

[NewattheGame]

Nice, what software?

im guessing multiple exposures from a single RAW file

nice shots! love subtle HDR images

Awesome series! Great use of HDR! You used it to enhance, not alter the scene.

#3 is my favorite of the 4 (weren't there supposed to be 5? ;))

There nothing I hate more than when people overdo HDR's

THANK YOU for not doing such.

On the first were you moving or just do some motion blur in PS?

[LostShootingStar]

I love that first one, great work http://m08o1124znfu179.imageshacknow.info/img/2465/o09a0208gstn/POTNsmile.gif

Thanks for all the comments really appreciate it. :cool:

Wow, all of them are awsome shots. You brought out colors and details but you were able to leave the reality of each photo intact. Well done.

The gate in the lake is outstanding.
Glad to see hdr breaking out of the separate hdr forum here at potn.

[laserman]

I love the "Moving Fast" picture! Very cool!!

[Tee Why]

I'm not a big fan of the HDR look, but the composition and the look of the shots look nice.

[deserttarheel]

Love 1 - it's like being there, the speed is so intense.
Three is great!

[i_am_hydrogen]

Terrific shots. The first and second are my faves.

[sumadaz]

#5 is incredible. Definitely a harsh sense of reality with that picture. If you posted the picture without the location I probably wouldn't have given it a second thought.

#3 is also great but in a different way than #5.

Thanks. I am honestly surprised that quite a number of people like the gate photo!

Everyone else - Thank you! ;)

Great colour and composition in #2 and #3. Is the A-Dome a memorial now?

[jdm.squeek]

They are ALL amazing! Great use of photomatix. Hope to enjoy Japan like that some day.

[Lyshk0]

3rd and 5th are my favorites, very nice shots

[asty80]

excellent series! loved it!

[fiorano94]

Very nice shots!!!

The A-Bomb Dome one is great. Such an amazing piece of history.

sweet set

[fidiv]

this is a great set

[Alec Trevelyan]

You got these just right--well done :)

[shadowkipper]

Breathtaking shots in my opinion, I'm loving all of them. I find it amusing that so many photographers 'bad mouth' the entry level 400D and 18-55mm lens yet you've used them, plus your amazing eye for good shots and combined them both to make a beautiful set of photos.

Very nice.

Yep, it's a great lens but, I lost all aperture control while I am there. So I only have aperture control in shot 1. The 5 other shots are taken at the widest aperture.
