Another beauty of a shot Jim! Well done.

Stan

The photo is beautiful,very nice colors and sky,the clarity is very good too.

Don't understand your doubts Jimbob as this is an excellent post my friend!!!
Regards, Cornelius.

WOW Jim this is a gorgeous setting and colours. I can see the bird condo in the distance, but I'll take that beautiful home.

If my retirement money keeps disappearing, I would like to have the bird condo! lol. Jim, great composition and presentation.

I like it and I sorta don't like it. Maybe I'm just not used to you using HDR on your photos. The scene and colors are brilliant! I'm still looking and I'll let you know what I decide..lol..its on my DT!

A beautiful scene Jimbob. I like the colours and the sky in this image. Your birds sure live in a nice house.

I don't know why your not sold on it. It's a great shot and the post work is stellar, Keep up the good work jim. I love it!

I like your job with HDR Jim. Good work.

Ok...I looked for awhile and I really love it! It looks like a painting of a fancy sort. You can buy me that house if you like!..lol..Excellent work Jim!
Joanie

Don't knock something new untill you try it....Great job on the HDR Jimbob. It's not too overdone and the colors are subtle. Beautiful work and I think you should be proud of this one.

I know what HDR is, but I didn't know you could do a 'little'. lol Looks really fine to me Jimbob, and it is definitely the lighting that HDR offers that makes this really stand out. Wonderful job with good definition and fine colors.

Perhaps the clouds and the sky are a bit too reddish (if you absolutely want to find something to critizise), but generally I like it very much!

Hi Jim,
I quite enjoy the fantasy like scape,
Some have mentioned the clouds to be a bit reddish, mine are usually to blue, I then desaturate on them and I like the results a lot, seems to bring up a lot of dynamism,
Perhaps you could try that,
Beautifully done,

Thanks for sharing
Kind regards
Tim

I think it is a good one Jim. The colors really look good to me.

Whatever you did to this image Jimbob, the result is fascinating! Honest opinion - Very good clarity, and an impressive 3D effect!

Excellent Jim !

I agree with everyone, you have done a wonderful job with this one. Another wonderful sky as well. How do you do it. LOL. Lyn.

It almost looks like Ortons. I like it, it´s beautiful.

So Beautiful scene..Lovely capture with Fine colors.

I think I would have upped the color a bit, but I like the HDR effect, as you can tell by looking at my gallery. It give it a very dynamic touch.

Ok, since you asked for some opinions ...

*mumbles under his breath, 'like anything has ever stopped me before from putting my two feet into my cookie hole'*

... I shall oblige you.

/\ Just kidding a bit. :oP

Now then ...

Think you present to us a good good HDR image, Jim.

My own personal tastes are for 'understated'. And in saying that, I am not inferring that the 3D aspect is loss. Not at all.

Caveats?

Trying to dredge my memory in terms of the toning and curves work that might address some ... some, mind you ... loss of details in the reds and yellows. Minor, at best.

Perhaps, some additional post processing ... as in some Selective Colour adjustment might bring, or introduce better neutrals and/or blacks? Just some thoughts.


Good composition, very pleasant to view.

And again, personal tastes perhaps and most certainly in my humble opinion ... kind of like the warmth of your image here. Not sure what time you actually shot this, however to my eyes looks like late afternoon light. Nice.

Only when viewing your image at the larger resolutions does some digital noise become readily apparent. Most definitely something that comes into play with HDR imaging. And it is not bad, to be clear here.

Summarizing, nice work. A subtle touch that resulted in a good good one.

Annnnnd ... but of course, thank you for sharing this one with us. :o)

Beautiful post Jim!

a wonderful capture and effect....interesting architecture on the house:)

I think the HDR is a success JimBob. I like the 3d rendering of the house, it adds to the scene. Especially with the line of the driveway leading up to it. The HDR hasn't affected the way the foliage looks too much either, it's still nice and soft. My one comment would be about the yellow colour cast, which could be easily sorted out with a white balance or curves adjustment. But having said that, it does add a nice golden glow so I wouldn't get rid of it altogether. All in all very successful I think.

Absolutly PERFECT autumn shot!!FAVED!!!!

Fantastic image of this wonderful scenery! I love how the HDR worked out!!
