Well done HDR. Great composition. I think that a straight horizon would make stronger image.

[Per-Gunnar Ostby]

The intense colours on the horizon are great.

I agree with that comment Michael. Are you getting artifacting at the sun? I know I do.

[Dennis "Curly" Buchner]

Very nice Michael, but the fisheye effect makes me feel I had too much sun and beer

Robert, here's the image at 100% crop; actual size. Looks pretty good. I do notice some in the reflection but the sun looks good as you see here.

Thanks Michael. I do see you getting the same artifacts I am getting. I appreciate you posting this.

Hey Michael,
I'm debating the shoreline and underside of the building in this one....feel it leads me away from the center of interest. I really like the sun (thanks for the 100% crop...very interesting and informative) and the left side up to the larger pier.....after that????...i get a bit drawn away. Still....the HDR work is very good and you have a lot of nice elements in this one.

love the sun and the HDR. the fisheye makes this look wicked!
