I really like the colors. I think it's very nice, not overdone

thanks. i was really trying to make it look not completely ridiculous like a lot of hdrs tend to

i like it alot. nice subtle usage to bring out the light without making it look too fake.

can i see a little ghosting on the logs or is it my imagination?

It's very blurry and that's spoiling its impact somewhat. This would've worked better as a high key black and white, it's a great composition.

Looks pretty good!

There appears to be some fringing on the top of the wood pile, what looks like a thin solid color line running along the edges. I think the suggestion of doing it b/w is a great one. Overall nicely done! The sky is beautiful!

That is beautiful! Something I would definitely hang on my wall. Ghosting on the logs isn't bad for a first try... I'm still learning to avoid that too.

nice job, maybe just a tighter crop is all

there are a few options for matching up movements in objects etc on the first screen. try playing with those and loading the same settings (if you saved them), you might be able to get the ghosting to go away really easily.
