Hi mate,
love the colours and how the your eye is led round the track to the building,but it's a bit dark on the field on the right and the tree in the middle is a big no no for me.

Would clone that out and it might benefit from a crop maybe letterbox???.....

Hi Steve, thanks for the critique. I centred the tree as main focal point and I placed the buidling in the lower left corner following the thirds rule. It would have been hard to place the tree anywhere else or I'd have ended up in the middle of a road just behind me! I agree its a touch dark, I think I need more practice with the HDR program, I over saturated it a bit. I may return when there are leaves on the tree and maybe with a wider lens I can fit both building and tree in the thirds location????

Hi David .. which HDR program did u use .. I have been trying to do HDR's as well and I have used CS3 and used the trial version of Photomatix .. One of my friends does HDR and they turn out so well .. Keep trying it does take time to master it .. I haven't as yet .. lol ..
Cheers
Else

Hi Else, I used the trial version of photomatix and then photoshop to adjust the contrast and saturation. I've tried several other HDR software but can't quite produce the images I'd hoped for. I think I'll keep playing and adjusting, see what happens
