This photo has a feel as if it is a painting. I love the old truck and boat. Your use of HDR brings out the dark areas of the wet ground while allowing the brighter sections to stay in control.

Good effort to allow better definition of the mountain in the back and the foothills in front. But the focus is really soft (windy?).

Nice use of HDR to bring out the interesting clouds while allowing proper illumination on the really interesting buildings in the foreground. I would have dropped the saturation on the colors a little - the greens are a little too vibrant for my taste.

Challenging photo opportunity saved by HDR. Good job using HDR to give good contrast in the foreground and not allowing the sky to get blown out.

Nice effort to bring out the tree and not blow out the church or the sunny areas. The "focus" seems a little too soft on the ferns (a little wind?)

Nice effort on this HDR challenge. I love the oak leaves in the foreground. I can see the whole image - darker areas are well illuminated and the sky (although not a beautiful one!) shows off well without being blown out.

Interesting red tint to this photo. I think the soft focus of the buildings etc distracts me in this photo. I would also have liked to see more illumination on the dark sections of the bank of the river

Nice effort with this photo. The balance of the lighting is nicely done. I am not a big fan of the location of the bench - a little more the the middle. And it is very hard to see the other bench in the background - you really have to look!

Good use of HDR to bring out the dark sections of this alley and allow the brighter sections to stay in control

Title: 1 LOL!

Nice us of HDR to allow the trees in the background to show up and not get blown out by the hydrant in the foreground
