Ordinarily HDR won't work when the wind is blowing the foliage around the way it is here. But the overall processing and look of the shot is just dandy. Nicely done!

Thanks very much,
i was also concerned regarding the tree and i think if there was any more movement it would not have worked. i did try a single RAW file to HDR but the water was not as good so i opted for this one.

Thanks

Here is one of the original files used for the HDR merge. tis is the +_ 0 file. it quite clearly shows a lot of movement in the trees and the water being blown out white.

and here is the HDR colour base file. the main problems were the rocks in the front left being too dark and the mountain being too light.
