Homeless Christmas Tree

It feels to me that the tree with it's ornaments is the dominant element here and hard to imagine the horizon is the dominant element in the photo.

I like this photo a lot, and there's a horizon but it's hard to imagine the horizon is the dominant element in the photo.

If I were to describe this photo to someone who hadn't seen it, the word horizon probably wouldn't be in my description. Hard to imagine the horizon is the dominant element in the photo.

This got my top score for imagination, technique and execution ... and it's a damn good photo. Seriously robbed IMHO!

I shoot a LOT of HDR. I get the best results when I set my camera to bracket 2/3 of a f/stop apart and I shoot 5 to 7 images. Also, make sure you are shooting aperture priority so your depth of field isn't changing. And Photomatix is sensitive to noise so shoot to balance low ISO and fast shutter speeds to minimize noise captured by your camera. All cameras are different so you'll want to experiment but minimizing noise in the original captures will help you when you create your HDR image.

Remarkably like an entry in "Thar Be Pirates" challenge. Both well done. Like landscape crop better.

Highly under rated IMHO. Nicely done. Love the colors. Shape's interesting (if abstract.) Sorry it didn't score higher!
