How is the dynamic range?

[Garbz]

Took this landscape shot yesterday. Photographing into the sun is always a hassle but I think I got away with something quite reasonable.

What I am asking is does this look sufficiently ... well not truly real, but jut all around good dynamic range wise? The photo was made by taking 2 exposures and faking a 1.7 stop NDGrad filter.

I think that it looks sufficiently "not faked".

For the most part, I like it.

(However, I'd probably crop out the foreground darkness a bit more)

Yes it will. The final image will actually be cropped to a 16:10 ratio for a wide screen. Better put that out there before someone says I cut the horizon through the centre
