Great. Noise in the right half is distracting.

Too much artifact. Seems like a resizing issue and too much noise.

Are you kidding me? Just spectacular. I like the negative space on the right, implies the impending storm. Clearly this will be top 3.

Day 04 - Slide Time

Is this hand held? I presume so given the slowest shutter speed is 1/20. The colors are rich, and the reflection in the slide adds additional vibrance. This does not look overprocessed. Well done.

I'm impressed by the trees. I've yet to get a quality HDR image out of photomatix when trees or plants are involved. Please take a look at this image, Wildflowers and Clearing Storm, Santiago Canyon, California. Any suggestions in the Photomatix stage of PP to improve the foreground flowers?

Yes, I agree, the skin does look overexposed. It's actually the result of slight bump in brightness at the end of the PP to soften the look and to adjust a print version. Thanks for the comment, she definitely is an angel who loves to be photographed.
