Quite good that one Allen, Reminds me a little of Harry Potter

Early part of my childhood was spent in Narberth which is not too far from here. I did visit Manorbier when the oil disaster hit the place, very sad that time, lots of birds killed.
Powerful colour Allen, especially the greens. I am a sucker for mono shots with this kind of content and wonder how it would look with the same HDR but in mono version with a little burning of the sky. Not a gripe mate.....far from it. I am a mono lover 'tis all sir.

Nice crop/framing. Its a fabulous place to explore.

The pink and green colours give the scene a magical, fairy tale quality and I like it

Thanks for the comments guys,
TCO I am always open to suggestions it's from these that I get my ideas, I will certainly try a mono version to see how it goes.
Maureen, I have a long way to go to master this HDR thing

well this is home for me (from tenby) a very nice image well handled too, would love to see the suggested mono version :-)

I have tried to convert to mono but the results are not worth posting. Maybe it is because it was a single jpeg file and the exposure was altered on Photoshop. but anyone here is welcome to download the photo and try for themselves

Al I had a five minute play mate.
Like you said its not easy playing with such a small jpeg.
Now....ITS NOT GOING TO BE TO EVERYONES TASTE!!!

I like moody, dark and 'overcooked' landscapes...its just me i'm afraid. I know others do not. Love it or hate it I have darkened it right up .
Just another view mate. Would love to have had a bigger TIFF to play with but nevermind.

Good Try TCO, like the image that you have produced, after much time spent pushing and pulling sliders

I came up with this image
