Been working a lot with hand blending multiple exposures with luminosity masks rather than relying on software, finally got a decent one worth sharing.

This is beautiful. A wonderful composition and the light and color is lovely.

This is my first and 1 of 2 attempts ever at an HDR landscape. Made in 2012 with Photoshop doing it for me. I'd like to try more, but I struggled with making this look natural.

Here is the second, made in 2015 using Enfused LR plugin. I was frazzled by this process... the sun was setting too fast and I couldn't figure out my settings. Ended up with a lot of ghosting in the final image.

I wouldn't mind feedback on this or the previous image.

From a rafting trip on Desolation Canyon of the Green River in Utah. Merged in Lightroom. I would love some feedback on the colors and processing for this one. My friend wants a print and I would like to get this one looking great.

since you asked for feedback .... the sky looks too cyan, the foliage has too much yellow and the clouds don't quite look right --/ maybe too much yellow there too. I'd try to drop the yellow luminosity or even saturation and move the sky more to blue/purple and the clouds to orange/red or maybe just desaturate them a little..

Composition & DOF is wonderful.

7-frame portrait mode pano with each frame being a 5-shot HDR spread. Each frame run through Photoshop HDR Pro and then stitched with Photoshop panorama. Actual image is 11388 x 4579.

I wouldn't mind feedback, either. Would like to know some resources to read up on how to approach. I've been shy to continue doing this because I feel ill equipped in knowledge.
