All of them turned out excellent, I especially like the one with the boat. Was the air still when you took these? Otherwise how did you avoid ghosting in the cattails?

Thanks :) I like the middle one the best ... Ehm It was a bit breezy .. but when the grass and cattail moves i normally use Auto alignment after features and not horizon, this helps a bit and then I clone the worst parts. :)

Thanks for the tips, and the coloring definitely came out great in that second one.

These are all really good. I'm new to HDR and I just downloaded Photomatix Pro, the trial. I'm trying to decide if I should get the whole program or not. Do you use the presets, or your own settings? Do you find that the photos need more post-processing after adding the HDR effect?

Thanks, Sherry

I like the second one the best and then first.

Hey Sherry

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you like them... I haven't come across a better program than Photomatrix... I do not use the presets but my own settings, it takes time to learn though but it is worth it...

I am editing after it is finished in photomatrix but that is only to give it the last details... I know some people who only uses the settings in photomatrix and then publishes those photos and they are excellent. I think it depends on what you want with the photo and how you want it to look .

Kind Regards

My vote goes for the second image. The lighting adds a great deal of texture. Like the subject matter on the first image, but the lighting is a bit harsh. Taken when the sun is near the horizon would make this a great image.
