Hay Bails HDR

[JSB]

The saturation is a key part of the artistic nature of the image. As You can see in the second, without the high saturation, the sunlight does not have the same impact, and the whole mood of the image is changed.

very nice. i'd go back and burn the halos at the edges of the two main bails. and as per manaheim's comment, dodge the clouds just a touch to pop the sky a touch. a crop (slight) could get rid of the cut off bail on the far left. or maybe just clone it out. finally, there is a difference in colour between the shading of the two bails. the one on the left seems a bit warmer than the one on the right. matching them would clean it up.
beautiful image. i've not found a scene quite like it around here, though i've been looking.

NON HDR looks better IMO.... More dramatic. The HDR looks cartoonish.....I like the drama and intensity of a good shadow...
