Joes Crab Shack on the Daytona Beach Pier

Really sharp looking photo, both the water and the sky look great in my opinion

What lens did you use to capture this?

 

[Braineack]

the HDR process treatment here is making this a bit flat and gray throughout.

I do not have a pro eye, but this looks great to me. How would you get it to be 'less flat'? Upping the black level?

Is is better ??

Yes, I think the edit looks better. The white still isn't white, but I suppose it could be grey in real life.

I have mixed feelings about this one. If it was mine I'd probably crop out most of that water at the bottom and make the rest much brighter.

I dig it. The wave breaking under the Daytona sign is nice. Only thing I don't like (to nicpic) is the umbrellas cutting off part of the sign but obviously that is out of your control.

A little PS Magic and the umbrellas could go away....................................
