This is my backyard...I wish! In truth it is close, only a short distance away.
I got a chance to a few HDR images last night with my visiting nephew.

My goal was to maintain the mood and realism as seen by eye.

See you where there is light, or at the computer

Beautiful image Chas. The comp and the colors are awesome. I can see 60 miles from here!? This would make a great credit card for Visa, Matercard or one of those companies. By the way I think that "This is my backyard" would make an interesting theme of the month.

I'm sure many of us wish we had that view, even a few miles away! Nice processing!

Chas - like the colors of the sky and the rolling hills. Nice backyard!

TFS,

Hi Chas, I like your choice of composition showing a diagonal line with the tree as it's anchor as a foreground element. The layered mountains on the left create alot of interest and is well handled technically.
I feel you succeeded in obtaining the realism you desired. The lone tree top on the left is bothering me a bit but all in all well handled...

Dave summed up my thoughts well on the composition Chas.
