A pleasing scene from the beach Rene!

The HDR is done well in that you cannot tell. Details in shadows just like our eyes would see.

Rene, Not being a fan of (most) HDR images I will say that you kept this in the realm of reality - and this AM a little Summer is a good thing! Bob

Hi Rene, the image is well composed but I might take a small bit off the top.(1/2 way between the top and the clouds) Good foreground,level horizon and some sky interest. Also agree with Robert's comments on detail in the shadows and the realistic look to the image(shot as an HDR)

Hey Rene,
I think the HDR work is excellent! I would say that the light wasn't ideal.....but the HDR really opened up the shadows. I do like Dave's idea of a crop too....but nicely handled and very well done!

[Andrew McLachlan]

Hi Rene, very nicely handled for this mid-day shot. Looks like HDR was the way to go to open up the shadows. Very nice work. I love the arrangement of the rocks in the comp too!
