I took this in the Drakensberg in South Africa. Please be very honest!

I just realized this should be in another category.. hdr. Sorry! Could one of the moderators please move it?? Thanks!

Lovely HDR work Isak. There's details in all parts & it looks absolutely natural. Good PP IMO.
The gap in front of FG rocks on the lower-left-corner seems bit distracting/bothering - but that's just my views.
I also feel that this one's an excellent image for long exposure to show the motion blur in water.
Liked the light on the far off peak.

Thanks for the feedback Kaushik! I value your opinion!

Isak,

Thanks for posting. HDR images are alright in this forum and should be posted here if the subject is a landscape image.

Kaushik summed up me feelings well. I like the composition and how the creek leads your eye into the image and the mountains in the BG. I also like going from the shadow FG to the sunny BG.

HDR work looks realistic which is what you want. I agree that cropping some from the FG to eliminate the area Kaushik mentions would be good.

Hi Isak,
Very good advice given above.........the HDR work is excellent.........I think a proportional crop of bottom and left.........to eliminate that pool of water.......would be the final touch on a very nicely composed image.

Thanks everyone! I appreciate your input!
