Oh man, that's beautiful. I'm in Philadelphia trying to do some HDR myself... that's awesome!

Love it. Everything about it really. Nice lines, color, and I even get a sense of movement from the clouds that almost feels like the train is moving.

Can you give the technical details of this shot? Camera settings and what software/settings did you use? I just got back from taking a ton of AEB shots and these aren't coming out right it doens't seem

To be honest I love everything about this image but the trees and sky..... with those areas toned down it would be killer and I usually don't like most HDR, exception here

I really did not do alot with the sky. I tend to overcook my images, But I made sure not to do too much here. The trees I can understand!

I agree. I was " This " close to nominating it in the photo of the month thread, but I just can't get past the abrupt change to saturated color on the right side.

JRE, maybe try to fix it?

do u mean desaturate?

I guess.

It might take some work to unify the whole.

Going b&w might be the easy way out, but I like the colour tones on the left side.

My quick edit

looks really good i personally would do 2 things

1: get rid of Topaz (if you use it) i used to use it then i began noticing it makes my images look to "cartoony" however if you enjoy that look then by all means continue using it I find NIK software is much better for color pop

2: masked in or adjust the levels to add some brightness in the darker cloudy area (not so much but just enough as were they dont look so dark)

other then that great overall image
