Here is another HDR made out of 3 frames taken last summer in Percé, Québec. This is an outstanding location for landscape and birds (Gannett colony). I did a moderate use of HDR in order to reveal the cliff. Since, once again it was taken hand held, there are a few misalignment effects on the beach rocks (to be worked later).
Please let me know your thoughts about the composition and lighting.

Goes to show the golden hour isn't necessary for a good picture. The comp works, with the elements distributed nicely through the frame, color contrast is a good bonus with the primaries all working together. Processing is also well done, looks very natural. Definitely looks like something for a travel magazine.

Paul, hits the nail on the head Rene. I totally agree with him. Nice work on the HDR - cannot even tell and you used it just for what you should use it for, to lower the contrast by opening up the shadows.

Hi Rene,
Can't add much to the above critiques but will just add my agreement. I will add that you are doing some of the most natural HDR work which is a big plus in my book.
