Lake HDR

The HDR processing looks pretty good aside form the blown highlights.
The biggest problem I see is the blue sky and yellow water, It looks very unnatural.

Hi Thankls for the feedback The difference in colour was intentional I just wanted to try something different

regardless if its was intentional or not it looks unnatural and weird.

I love it. Anyone who doesn't post fluffy shallow comments is labeled a troll.

Oh please....If you cant take a little criticism why even post a photo?
FYI: I still think the HDR processing looks good but again the blown highlights on the clouds are distracting.

I actually agree, the yellow water confuses me. I also think you should have added an extra exposure for the hill in the back and the trees along the right side of the photo.

I understand your point, but when you post on a public forum with the sole purpose of having others view your image, you can't expect everyone to view it with 100% satisfaction. I agree with McNugget, the strong blue up top not being reflected in the water draws attention to the processing itself, and not the image, IMHO. I must say though I do really like the area middle-left where the bright grass reflects softly in the water and contrasts with it's surroundings. Overall, it's a nice image. Nice work.

Thanks guys for the constructive feedback

It's a beautiful, but very surreal image. Looks like a blue-gold polarizing filter was used. I do agree with the previous posts the clouds are overexposed and it does look artificial. I still think it's a nice image.

Lovely pic! Congratulations! I believe you did a very good job on the editing.
Not sure why people tend to dislike heavy-edited photos like this one. To me, the final result is beautiful and the composition is great, too.
