Congratulations Harold Davis
Juno Beach Pier Sunrise
This is a five image HDR. i used the HDR to try to bring some more detail out of the pier and tame the sun. tried to make it realistic without the HDR feel. cloned out some surfers and some dust bunnies along with some of that "pixelization" that you sometimes get with Photomatix.
D300, 18-200 at 18mm, f/22, 2s, ISO 200, double stacked 3-stop GND filters.....five images were +2, +1, 0, -1 and -2.
one of the last time i posted in here, paul marcellini told me i should really work hard to present the best i could. well boys, here it is! i worked on this, walked away twice only to tweak it some more. what do i need to do now?
thanks for looking. comments and critiques much appreciated.

It looks nice Harold. How about next time wait till the sun is behind the pier and then the star burst will be a bit more covered so as not to give the yellows an over saturated look. Just a thought. you have shot this image quite a bit. It is nice to have it so close to do that. Well done and kudos for the efforts.
