Thanks Raven and Lukas.
Lukas, great shot. The second one is excellent.
I'm not entirely sure about the first one, though. For me, I think there's not enough going on in this one.

I think the combination of the sharpening after resize and the sharpening that is part of the noise reduction (the shadows in the water needed a bit of that) seems a bit too much. I'll look into that. Thanks for mentioning it.

Here are two more shots, both are again HDRs.

Man, Dennis, your control of the HDR process is really just amazing.

**Phill D** · 10-15-2009, 10:15 PM

I agree with the others Dennis your HDRs are stunning. For me though the bike shot was just a touch to vivid. I loved the saturation levels of the previous shot but the bike's background was a bit OTT.

Thanks, Adam and Phil

Phil, I think I agree with you here. I already brought down the saturation a lot when I got the image out of photomatix, but looking back at the image, I think it could use just a bit more.

Prospero, great image of bike & landscape, love it. The only thing I think is to apply slightly cooler colors to this image, hope you do mind me this suggestion.

Lucas, amazing sea coast shots, as always. Wish we had sea here

Thanks for your comment. I don't mind your suggestion at all, suggestions are always welcome.
I had kept the whitebalance on the warm side to enhance the autumn colours, but I will give the cooler colours a try.
