This is very nice. I've noticed that in 99.9% of these HDR shots, they all seem to have an edgy feel that seems to jump right out and knock you over. Even in the images where a peaceful lake was photographed, it still has that knockout punch. You have somehow found a way to display the serene in a process that just doesn't seem conducive to that. This is just my opinion. Nice job.

what I like about this so much is that despite having a full frame of wood and creek it does not all blend together. It can breathe, and feels natural.

Commenting as part of my Team Suck duties...

I love this photo and am surprised it didn't do better in the challenge. I have no idea why, but perhaps b/c it may have been, as you said, not HDR-y enough. Shame. Composition, detail, colour... all wonderful, although, perhaps not enough colour for the DPC audience. That said, I wouldn't change a single thing in the image. Love it.

Incredibly rich; it has tooth. 2 wrongs may not make a right, but 3 subtleties can make a splash.

I thought it was hdr-y plent-y! I loved the depth and sharpness you got out of the entire photo. What wonderful clarity all the way to the back. Beautiful shot.

Actually a good job of bringing up detail in the shadows and containing bright highlights. The image needs a focal point and another one or two elements of interest.

creepy, the title fits it perfectly. I feel a bit victimized by the way he is leering at me.
