So lovely, PJ. I love the blues and purples. Maybe I'll get out one of these days and capture the southern end. lol That HDR stuff is amazing. Someday I'll have to give it a try.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Ahh that's better!! Your already getting a pretty nice grasp on HDR. I really like how this hasn't lost its sense of realism, but maintains the mood and atmosphere that HDR brings. I really like the symmetry in this...very nicely done!! Keep experimenting, they're only getting better!
Sorry to all...I haven't been commenting as much as I would like to lately. I'm a 9 to 5er again (actually more like 8:15 to 7:30 these days!!) Don't worry, I still see all of your wonderful posts, if only for a second.
THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY

Wow...love this, PJ! Those clouds are awesome and so is everything else about it. I am in total agreement with LynEve, this HDR blows the other two out of the running! :)
PJ, though I've said that I don't like HDR, your attempts show such a progression that I must say now that I like this result very much (such things can happen, lol). Regards, Cornelius
This is spectacular, PJ! Love the colors and lighting. You're really getting the hang of this HDR thing. I might have shown a little more of the grasses in the foreground to balance the composition.
Several of my photos are available for purchase in larger format at Shutterpoint, and some are also available in high quality framed prints at http://djholmes.imagekind.com/
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
