Hurricane Ridge - HDR (Critique Please?)

thanks!

 

I'm really diggin the first one!

 

i like them, but seems like there is too much noise

 

i would crop the sides in a bit on the first one. that would help with the clone patching on the left. also you could do some burning and dodging on the clouds to brighten up the higlights a bit. same with the mountains. that way the center has a bit more pop and will keep attention instead of letting the eye wander to the bright edges.

pretty shot though.
