    Default Boat Graveyard

    Taken yesterday at a boat graveyard. The sky was a bit uninteresting, so I replaced it with one from the files. HDR from 5 images in Photomatix and multiple adjustments in PS.
    Saved at 66Q to fit.

    Looks like it might need a slight rotation, not fond of the grain in the sky but that is a personal preference. I do like the boat and the composition.

    Roman, I love the boats but I would rather the sky was a different color - it seems to distract from the image. (Or I wish the water was more the color of the sky)

    I like this Roman, great subject for HDR! Very cool colors and effect on the boat, and nice overall composition! I think Cheryl makes a good suggestion regarding changing the the water color to shade of the sky color. Nice work, looks like you had fun!

    I think the slightly mis-matched sky/water adds to the semi-grunge appearance. I like the way the brighter reflections in the water match the sky. I do have a very similiar image with the real sky and will try to post it.

    Roman, love this one and the grunge effect on the boats. I too wish for less grain in the sky, but love the cloud formation above the boats.

    Another vote for love the boat/not so much the sky. I like HDR best when you can see the details but not the fact that its HDR so the boat seems great but the sky is too grainy and contrasty for my tastes.

    Thanks all! Ran noise ninja on the sky.....and added a bit of the sky color to the water. I think it works better so thanks for the tweak suggestions!
