I was wondering if anyone would do something like this what with all the talk of mundane landscape shots. This is a really great example of what HDR can be used for in a non-LSD inspired fashion. The details through the window aren't overexposed, the still life is not a shadowed mess. Nice job and good luck.

Another rare and excellent example of HDR imaging. Nothing silhouetted and very nice lighting all around. I hope this does well, though I'm afraid one of the many hallucinogenic nightmares I just clicked past in horror will probably take the prize.

That's some wicked haloing going on around the guy. If its intentional, I'm not sure it was the way to go here. Almost looks like some sort of album cover for a punk band or something. Good luck.

Hmm, the border on this picture deserves some witty, stinging rebuke but this challenge has pretty much drained me at this point.

The photo itself... Not sure where everyone turning yellow is a component of high dynamic range. Composition is a bit rough. The sand is pea green.

Alright I guess I had some left in me after all. Good luck.

One of the better entries. Congratulations on not processing yourself an image that looks like it was painted by a rabid monkey on mescaline.

Beatiful in its simplicity. A perfect example of black and white that presents a full range of tones in subtle harmony. This is probably one of the best photos I've seen on DPC. It's not too gimmicky, it's not grossly processed. I could stare at this for an hour and just let my eyes feast on the play of light and shadow. Excellent work and I hope this ribbons. 10.

Nicely composed, interesting subject. I like the grainy details in the leaf. Only 'complaint' here is the lack of some bright tones. Even the highlight in the water drop seems to be pretty mid-tone. Other than that, great entry and I hope it does well. Good luck.

Tonight on the WB, Veronica Mars!

Nice shot, pretty girl. Would like to see a bit more detail in her top. Nothing else to say really, you obviously no what you are doing.

Lot of very subtle shades in this shot, but I think it needs more work to get them to come out and enhance the image. As it is, it tends to just look rather gray with nothing exciting going on. A different composition might help as well. My eye keep sgetting pulled up to the spokes towards the top but there's really nothing there to keep it looking. Nice idea in its simplicity. Good luck.

I wonder if you get voted down simply for a religious subject? Hopefully not. I have no feelings about the subject matter, however this shot lacks impact overall. If anything it would have worked better without the sun (moon?) and puff of cloud marring the otherwise crisp lines of the cross. High contrast shots suit my taste, but I'm afraid there's just nothing going on here to keep my eyes interested. Good luck.
