3 HDR pics from Lake Windermere

2 and 3 are great. Must try HDR at some point.

Lesmac is correct in what he says.
If a shot looks "HDR" then we have failed (setting aside arty stuff).
An image should speak for itself not draw us aside to tehnique etc.
The last image in my opinion is best .. it has more punch.
Thanks for sharing.

I'd rather see these processed in PS using layers, HDR just gives something to the images which looks wrong but compositionally they are great.

Sometimes you can tell an image is HDR, sometimes you can't. When I do it, I tend to use -1 / 0 / +1, that way it looks more natural.

Having said that, if the OP hadn't told us they were HDR, I might not have guessed it, they're very good. I love the first and fourth.

I love No. 1.

2 and 3 are a bit too 'seen it before calendar' for my taste. No 1 has some stunning natural colours and a nice dramatic panorama whereas I don't see that much of interest in 2 and 3 although they are beautifully done. In No.1 I can almost feel the damp grey autumnal mist. Lovely.
