This is my shot at HDR... the photo to the left is the original. Be gentle on me this is my very first time trying this :)

The color and detail of the top photo make it interesting, but I love the reflection of the clouds in the water which shows up more in the second photo.

Candice said at 1:26 p.m. on Jun 24, 2007: Nmat, HDR stands for high dynamic range & thanks for your comments. Thanks Anjad - it's alot of fun, I'm using Photomatix. They have a free demo version.

Vinca said at 2:18 p.m. on Jun 24, 2007: Oh WOW..this is stunning. The sky is absolutely aglow especially in the first picture,thanks to the HDR. It now looks like a beautiful painting. The original one looks quite dark in comparison. You have done an excellent job Candice. Truly brilliant! I have been confused about HDR and how to go about it even after reading John's tabblo on "HOW TO" ..but after seeing your work, i guess i should give it a whirl too. I just might be able to do it. :o)
