Haven't posted an HDR in a while, so here's one i recently processed:
3 exposures with a sigma 10-20mm.
C&C always appreciated!

We have some great views here in New England but I'd kill for that. You did a great job IMO.

Great shot. Beautiful job on the colors.

It's been a long while, but I think the mouth of the Merrimac River looks a lot like that scene.

I think everybody thinks that of their own country.. I tell myself all the time there is nothing to photograph here in Holland.. But i keep suprising myself even though i think this is a pretty lame country ;)

Hell, I'd love to be able to shoot some of the old buildings in Holland. Even in Boston, the "oldest" area of the US, the buildings go back only 400 years - and those are wooden shacks, practically.

In that case i'm not complaining ;) I'm actually going to the southern region of my country this weekend to photograph its nature and castles. i'll upload some of those pics next week on POTN.

That is real nice; love the colors in the sky and soft water.

Well done.

As a side....I have always considered piers to be wooden structures that jut into the water and allow waves and water to pass through. The stone structure in your picture I have always known as a jetty. Is this me or a difference in terminology between the two countries?

Nifty lead out from foreground to that right tower.
Great exploding pastel colors out there, up across the sky and down across the water.
Thanks for sharing.

do you like how your 10-20 does on scenic shots? i have one too and i find that it lacks sharply focused images after 6 feet out.

I find mine a little soft as well at 10mm with scenic shots. It becomes really sharp at 14mm and stays that way the rest of the focal length.
It also depends on how you shoot scenes, a always use a tripod and remote shutter release.
Also is a cheap UV filter never a good thing on any lens, so that could be part of the problem if you find yours soft.
