I think the concept is great, and the location has a lot of potential, but the treatment is way too over the top IMO. It looks way too unreal, with all those bright colours and whatever. ~4

This is my favorite type of editing, first excellant choice of a place to shoot, 2nd the editing is right on. Is this like an urban acid type? Great work. 9..

Interesting that you used HDR, even though the clouds are still blown out, I like the orange and red palette of the grasses and rust, more than the sky or surrounding greenery.

these HDR images blow my mind. i can't tell if they are real or computer generated.

would prefer this a bit less saturated. It seems sureal, which is the opposite of the challenge. Good subject matter.

The post processing of yellow is too bright for the overall tone of the photograph. Otherwise, I like it.

I am sorry but I have to say this, that sky looks horrible, whatever you did in post processing does not agree with me, for my taste it´s very oversaturated and "muddy". The rest of the shot is OK though but still looks a bit oversaturated to me, the only part of the picture I am ok with the saturation is the grass, there it fit´s. As for the composition, it´s not bad but I find that fence a bit distracting, I think I would have liked it better if you either went down to the ground and included all the fence having the house behind it or tilted the camera upwards, thus eliminating the fence alltogether and having more sky in the shot. Sorry but this got a 4 from me.

What a great find! Processing is a bit on the strong side but works for this challenge.

Looks like a cartoon... Too much processing!

Wow...the color is really, really tweaked. It's kinda nice except for the sky.

a little heavy on the saturation but nice

I really feel that this would have been so much more moody and effective without the heavy processing and layers. It could have been left more "real" to have greater impact, instead of becoming a type of cartoon - "Dream" and "Harsh" seem to me at odds with each other.Sorry, I know I am coming from a position of anti-high definition photos, and this is very subjective.

A little over-processed for my tastes, but a nice entry nonetheless.

I'm not sure i like this new HDR phase that seems to have arrived.
Doesn't look realistic, looks like digital art.
I mean it's well done, you nailed what i can see you were aiming for, just that i dont like that.
:p

I absolutely LOVE the tones. WOW I wish you'd backed up just a bit, it seems slightly cramped. 7
