It is over the top, but I think that is what makes it cool


Photography is like a drug and I think I need an intervention.

A lot of (not all) HDR photos look surreal and I think that is part of the appeal. For most, they either love it or hate it. OP, I think the photo looks great!

And in person, because of the distance from it, it does appear "small" but his picture definitely creates a whole different perspective

I like its drama quotient.

If you brighten it a little does it still work?

Nice shot and I like the HDR here. Do you shoot this from closer with something not as wide?

Mount rushmore looks way smaller than i pictured it.

It's a combination of where he took the shot from and the focal length. There is still a pretty good distance between the people and the base of the mountain. It is a lot bigger than this image makes it appear.
