they need some contrast, move them to PS and may a cuves layer.

this is not usual for HDR

 

[MohaimenK]

yeah they look a bit soft IMO
I think sometimes after HDR using PS to bring out the colors more also works. Like #3 picture

 

[D-B-J]

What about this?

 

[MohaimenK]

Now that's what I'm talking bout! A+

 

[MohaimenK]

oh just pay attention to some details. Like the cloud (having over exposed on the right) and maybe the steps (on the left side) That's the problem I ran into when I did your other one, the cloud over the tree was a bit overexposed so I toned it down a bit

 

[Robin Usagani]

Yeah.. i need to read more about photomatrix. I like those edits.

Read that link I sent you earlier on PM that's all about Photomatrix and it's very helpful

Yeah, needs to be straightened, needs contrast, and some general cleaning up with curves and tones. I like DBJ's edit, although it still looks tilted to the right to me.

I apologize, i did not straighten it out. Haha

Nice, any opinion on maybe pulling some of the added yellow out of the grass? Might contrast better against the warm brick.

Good suggestion. Didnt notice that in the editing.

And a note to the op, get lightroom three! These edits took about 5 minutes. Simple but very effective editing software.

I think I can do those with CS4 no problem.

 

[Dominantly]

You could, but not as intuitively nor as quick.
