Medium Dynamic Range tonemapped for C&C :)

[Compaq]

5 exposures. Tone mapped in photomatix, edited in photoshop and reduced noise in topaz denoise.

Composition, lighting whatever. Anything you'd do differently is welcomed!

It looks like one more of the way over done, cartoonish HDRs so many new to HDR do.

Yes, those rocks looks a little painterly.
But apart from (apparently) poor tone mapping, what is to like and not to like?

That graph is freakishly accurate :O

What the fruit baskets happened to the rocks?

 

[Compaq]

They must have suffered the painful ordeal that is details enhancer

I tonemapped again with the exposure fusion (or whatever it's called) thing. Then I took the rocks from the new edit and placed over the rocks in the first edit. I thought the sky looked the best in the first edit. Anyway, Here's the fusion edit (+ some photoshopping) along with the third edit. Is this better? Rock problem solved?

Noob opinion here, but I think that third edit looks fantastic.

Composition looks okay. I like the purple-ish cloud coloration. The only thing I would suggest would be to throw a couple of steaks on those hot coals, and also some pieces of marinated chicken, and let 'em BBQ for a while!

+1 for the third edit. Looks a lot better now.
