I am no expert at all but the first thing I notice is that it is abnormally sharpened.

Also, how many different bracketed shots did you use? I think you could do something with the clouds to give them more texture as well.

Maybe you intended to achieve that effect but, as has been said, it looks over sharpened. A good image ruined.

Good HDR photos don't look like HDR photos and this one is a bit overdone.

If this was HDR the clouds/sky would not be blown out. In fact that would probably be a pleasantly dismal shot if properly done.

Was this even bracketed, or just an attempt at HDRish effect on a nice picture?

There is not much dynamic range to work in this low res picture, but this is more like HDR.
I had to downsize a lot, and save as quality 0 jpeg, so there is loss of sharpness. I am only trying to show the enhanced DR.

Not sure what this means...its either an HDR (multiple exposures) or its not. If its a single exposure that you created other exposures from, then it can't be "HDR" for the simple reason that you can't exceed the dynamic range of the original no matter how many exposures that you spin off from the original.

Sorry to say it, but I'd toss these both in the circular file. If you're a beginner, concentrate first on basic exposure and compositional techniques and don't worry about HDR right now. Getting HDR to "look right", especially with landscape shots, takes a lot of work and practice to pull off successfully.

Exactly! There is no High Dynamic Range in this image. It looks like a single frame based on the DR.

I agree with this. Trying to make images from a single RAW image is NEVER as good as shooting 3, 5 or more frames in camera and blending those together. You never recover the highlights as well and the noise increases in the shadows.

I agree with argyle, this is not HDR but pseudo HDR since it is from a single image, and even more, a jpeg. I was trying to show how an HDR image would look like.

Yes this was bracketed. The sky was completely blown out in the single shot.

The composition seemed nice to me. I am just starting out with HDR, trying to figure out some settings and how each setting effects the image.

That reminds me anyone know of any decent tutorials for HDR Pro in CS5?

A good place to start is in the HDR section here at POTN
