 This is the first HDR image I have entered into a challenge here on DPC.
The sunset I photographed was gorgeous, but I am afraid that I did not do it justice at all. A photoshop wizard might have been able to accomplish something truly beautiful with this image.
I did my best, but I am not completely happy with it.

There are a few things I want to say about this. One - I love the sunrise(set). Awesome colors. Two - I like the reflection! Three - I am not sure I like the left set of trees. They seem like you might have done a bit of selective brightening and it sort of came out flat in color. And lastly number four - I think you could have gotten away without the bottom layer of grass. Either that or added more of it. Either way would have worked. :)

Beautiful scene, well captured. I'm not sure I love the row of grass on the near side of the pond. Maybe more or less of it would be better.
