HDR: Abandoned 2

Photographers Comments
Took this shot on the Isle of Mull last year. Wanted to try HDR treatment on it, and then turn it to Mono. I kept the noise issue within the photo, then did some selective Levels adjustments (on different layers) and a little Burning on the sky area.

Please give some c&c on either side of the fence. All will be greatly received.

This is a fantastic image, I love the dark mood and the detail in the reflections. Sky is a little bit noisy for me but that is the only thing I could crit and it is a minimal point. Very nice, I have been to mull, but none of my pics were a patch on this!

Mark, A bit to much noise in the clouds,and the shadows around the bottom of the boats could do with a bit of lightening. Otherwise a very nice shot

Thanks for the comments Andy and Trevor. Yes, the noise is a little too much, and think I will play around with the lighting around the boats. Will post next image shortly

A really big thanks for the comments
