HDR

Tell me how I did. Thanks.

I think they are done well. I'm not sure if the originals really needed HDR and not just curves etc, as the scenes look pretty evenly lit. You have avoided the common oversharp candy color look, so kudos for you taste in choosing what was needed. Keep them coming!

Thank you. Bracketingin the first shot was needed as this was just before sunrise. It was either a blown out sky or underexposed foreground. So I chose to bracket the shots. I'm not a fan of heavy HDR at all so I go for the more "natural" HDR look. Thanks a lot.

Fair amt of vertical convergence going on and some halo on the roof in #2. Composition is very good and good use of HDR....no over saturation/clown colours - well done!

I would of tried ( if possible ) to get in front of the big foreground stump, and as low as possible for framing in the first image. For me the foreground is distracting.

The second has the building leaning, and the wires are distracting, as is the brush in the right corner. Perhaps from a different perspective, if possible, even if the wires are still in frame, as they can be removed easily in PS. As the leaning of the building.

Do a search on utube for correcting the issues in #2, that is, if you have PS.

Keep shooting and practice your framing, perhaps use live view to help you.
