 This my first HDR landscape. I have struggled with this one. I think the underlying image has some potential, and in the right hands for processing it might turn out pretty good. I am pretty sure mine are not the right hands. My biggest fear is that I would screw up this challenge entry by overdoing the HDR. Then, every time I look at it would be a reminder that I screwed up an image that could have been good. I worry this might be overcooked for my taste, but frankly I have fiddled with it for so long I cannot even tell.

I really like this shot but I almost feel like the sky is too bright and doesn't have enough color. There are some blown out highlights in there. Other than that though I love the fallen tree(s) and the reflections they give.
