What do you think?

honestly I don't see anything about this shot that needed HDR, it's really plain

not everything needs to be HDR

but I did notice no halos!

I think the 'fair queen' mentioned in the 'fair queen ball' will disappoint.

I like it, but I very much dislike the HDR, it's not fitting for this image.

Probably loose the HDR or tune it down in the sky... But I really like this photo! You achieved perfect balance between symmetry and just the right amount of assymetry! :thumbup:

Thanks. How come this doesn't look good with HDR? I thought it looked pretty awesome. What makes a photo deserve or not deserve HDR??

the only thing in the photo that has any real detail is the tree ... everything else is jut kind of plain you do have some letters on the front but if you had anything in view in the door instead of a black entrance maybe it might be more interesting but the only thing of interest for me would be maybe the cow and a tree

But isn't it worth sometimes capturing the simpler things?

From the sign, on the left..."SUN: Fair Queen Pageant"

it can be but in HDR you're trying to expose the hidden details in all ranges

not trying to capture simple things maybe you like the look of tone mapping which is not the same thing of HDR it's just part of the process

I don't know, it's just a matter of personal taste I think. But you basically want to do HDR when the camera is unable to capture the whole dynamic range in front of you... Again, I don't much about HDR and never tried it myself.
The picture is good and I like it a lot! Perfect balance! But the sky is kinda weird to me
