Subtle use of HDR to bring out the details throughout the image

Very good job on the HDR. THe composition is very nice with just enough of the road in the picture. The colors seem very real (the greens are not over done like so many in the challenge).

Very nice technical use of HDR to highlight the reflection and allowing the grasses to not get blown out.

Great cave! I love the use of HDR to bring out the subtleness of this cave - and the colors are not overdone. Good job.

The look of this photo is really over the top in an interesting and painting-like way.

This photo has a feel as if it is a painting. I love the old truck and boat. Your use of HDR brings out the dark areas of the wet ground while allowing the brighter sections to stay in control.

Good effort to allow better definition of the mountain in the back and the foothills in front. But the focus is really soft (windy?).

Nice use of HDR to bring out the interesting clouds while allowing proper illumination on the really interesting buildings in the foreground. I would have dropped the saturation on the colors a little - the greens are a little too vibrant for my taste.

Challenging photo opportunity saved by HDR. Good job using HDR to give good contrast in the foreground and not allowing the sky to get blown out.

Nice effort to bring out the tree and not blow out the church or the sunny areas. The "focus" seems a little too soft on the ferns (a little wind?)
