HDR Landscape Shot

[dandaluzphotography]

Danny I am not pro when it comes to this however I do think I have a good understanding of HDR but more so light and colors. Warm colors will usually make a person feel welcomed where cool colors will do the opposite. Its not fair to say everyone but many folks fall into that category of clinging to warm colors. So when doing landscapes in the summer last thing you want to do is make it look like winter and the golden hour is the best time to do these types of photos as you get all those golden yellows, oranges and reds. Don't be afraid to push those colors especially when they are already in the scene. When I did the adjustment I did not add to what was not there I just enhanced it. The sun will look better more yellow than white.

Cool picture and hope I have helped you just a bit!

Good stuff. Thanks for your help!

I have nothing to offer critique-wise other than to agree that the image looks better softer, and a tad warmer without over-saturating it. (Sure, I wonder what the same scene would've looked like from slightly different angles but the same could be said for any shot where perspective and composition are crucial.)

Part of the reason I have no critique is that I've been staring at your picture for at least 5 minutes, and it's pretty damn stellar. This is a very congruous, inviting image. Well done.
