Subjects that contain moving elements are not good candidates for HDR, but the composition is still good and has good HDR characteristics.

Challening subject to get those flames to stay put! Interesting effort with the foreground illumination and the wood below.

I like the linear lines softened by the circles... warm colors work well... good luck!

Interesting effect happening with the flicker of the flames. Great rich color in the wood.

Umpqua Lighthouse HDR

Comment by violinist123:
Why would the overcasst sky have kept you from entering this? It's a decent photo, it clearly benefits from the expanded dynamic range of HDR and unlike 99% of the other shots in the forums it isn't a complete haloing festival and abuse of tone mapping. You should reconsider entering if you have more shots along these lines.

Comment by igoofry:
I love the mood of this image. Nice job with the HDR. The color is nice with the sun high on the ridge and I love the effect of the long exposure on the water. Straight to favorites for me.

Good detail and natural colors. I think I might prefer if I could see the bottom of the well bucket.
