This is so surreal I love it! Great processing and HDR, absolutely love the clouds, but the whole image kinda meshes together and it can be hard to tell what I'm looking at in some parts. I kinda like that about ti though. Keep it up!

nice :) the blue color in the top right is so bright though that its stealing attention from the subject, maybe a little desaturation could have helped there :)

Interesting the way there seems to be an idyllic world beyond that artch, and beyond that a catastropic fire burning.

pretty much encapsulates why some folks don't like HDR, very unreal looking and very well done HDR. It is a HDR challenge so 8 from me. I'd love to see this picture done without such extreme treatment.
