A three image HDR

5d +24-105L @ 28mm
f/18
ISO 200

Processed in Photomatix Pro and PS CS 4.

I used the Nik Color Efx Tools 3.0 warmth brilliance filter to enhance the colors.

Hey Michael,
As always.....a very nice HDR. I'm not sure about the FG rocks at bottom edge of frame.........they add a nice layer.....and they don't bother me that much...but with a browser crop.......I prefer more of the pano without them (cropped just above the larger rock near the left edge of frame. Either is very nicely done.........but the pano is my preference.

I really love this, Michael. The colors are phenomenal and the layers pull me from the front edge of the image all the way through to the back. I think a pano would work as well but I really like this as is.

Michael, the HDR images you have been posting are all quite lovely. I believe that you are using 3 images at -2 intervals but was wondering if you are using the Details Enhancer or Tone Compressor functions in Photomatix to achieve your beautifully realistic results.

Very nice Michael, calm water always a big plus for sunset or rise photos. Nice layers and good pop

Great light and colors here, Michael. I really like the composition and would probably like a pano, too!

Hey Michael,

I agree about the rocks in the FG. I would of got into the water and find a different composition. Either way, this is very nice as presented.

I really like the soft light here and a great HDR effort.
I like Roman's patented browser crop method...and suggestion here.
