Interesting photo, well done.

The clouds resemble an explosion happenning above and behind, while there is a stillness of water under the bridge. (back to upgrade).

Cool bridge; the top part seems a little dark.

It all works ... nothing to suggest to make it a better photo .. interesting and very well photographed.

Just oversaturated a bunch. Great scene otherwise. In the sky, there are either dust spots. Or, if the spots are birds.... then they were not a good choice for an HDR blend. (Yes, I know there's more than one way to "meet the challenge".)

A great shot, but the colors are a bit overdone for my tastes. Although there is a great reflection on the pond beyond the bridge, I find my eyes struggling to decide the center of interest--falls, bridge, pond, or sky?

WOH!!! major optical allusion here. totally blows my mind-10

Stunning, really beautiful.

It's good, but perhaps the tonemapping in this scene is taken just a little too far for me. Not sure. On the other hand, it did some wonderful things for the clouds. Perhaps some of it is the strong yellow component in the foliage. I tend to turn down the yellow in foliage for a more green look.

Great color range here.

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!

seems over-saturated to me but I really like the scene

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

I shall be rating this challenge by the following criteria:

1 - Not HDR in my opinion

3 - HDR is way over-done, in my opinion

5 - A reasonable use of HDR, but not a very engaging photo, in my opinion

7 - A reasonable use of HDR, and an engaging photo, in my opinion

10 - A fantastic use of HDR, and an out of this world photo, in my opinion

Your photo receives:

There is a lot going on in this pic, but for some reason I like it.

I know this place:)
I was going to do a night shot of the Falls,but ..
Nice work

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.
