Ok, I couldn't resist. On the way home from church I stopped at the parkway. It was raining lightly, grey, and overcast. The HDR really brought back the color and added some depth to the trees in the woods.

Love the road winding through the trees and the contrasting colors. Simple and effective.

Really nice use of HDR to show the details throught the image. AND - good control of the saturation and hue to maintain good color.

I'm not seeing a lot of dynamic range here...nice winding leading lines of road.

The trees look like they're leaning different ways - normally I find that visually unappealing but I think here, it enhances the sense of motion in the shot and makes me imagine I am in a car about to travel those turns.

I confess I know nothing about HDR, but I feel that the grove of trees is not sharp/defined enough - it blurs together.

Decent use of HDR. Composition dosn't do much for me though.

I just found this lacking a subject...the road almost makes it but not enough. Leaving it feeling a bit boring for me.

You should try pulling up the saturation in the reds - it would bring a great balance to the bright greens and bring some life to the leaves
