		| | Wonderful location.  It's a topography that inherently has deep dark shadows and it is the deep dark shadows that reveal the form and beauty of that landscape.  Ah, but I understand that this is an experiment in learning HDR techniques and, I suppose, this is a reasonable candidate for experimentation, but I don't think that the HDR result greatly enhances the viewing experience (for my part, anyway).  Perhaps if you selected only 2 of the images to combine, you might end up with a nicely moody work with a little more detail in the shadows - but without that artificial look.  My personal bias is that HDR is a technique for security forensic work - for revealing faces, license plates, and details hidden in the shadows.  Apologies for being hard on this test case. |

		| | The greens look a little artificial in what is an otherwise great image |

 I just did this quickly in Photomatix.....if you're using this program, it appears as if you have the strength turned up a bit much in the tone mapping process.

		| | I like the subject, but the right side needs cropping. You can push the viewers focus to the center by removing the tree in the upper right. |

		| | It's not too bad. I don't really care for how artificial the greens look or that orange blown out part across the top of the red rock formations. I like the sky and the pinks of the granite in the fore- ground. |
