Great location and nicely controlled HDR work, especially considering you have moving water. Did you do anything special to control the appearance of the water?

Thanks everyone!!

Oldmacman: The only thing I did was to use an ND filter on the lens, a 3 stop one at that. The water was mostly in the shade, which helped, and the ND really gave me the motion I was looking for.

Sorry, I meant did you do anything in post for the water. I have found that HDR can be finicky with sections that move and was just wondering how you controlled that aspect of the processing.

Nope, nothing special there. Just merged the images, and let Photomatix Pro do its thing.

Nice looking pictures. I like the ND filter that you used.
