My attempt at an HDR: Shot 3 bracket shots to compile this picture. This is the columns in front of a civil war memorial in Vicksburg, MS. Thanks for your views and comments!

It looks like it worked. The exposure looks great throughout.

To make your photo more natural, cut back on the color saturation of the green grass. As it is the photo looks too much "HDR'y".

Very nice variation. Not overcooked at all nor over-grungy. Just the kind of photo I like. Good color and good details. Sky is natural, doesn't look like it is going to bring in a storm. I don't have a problem with the grass either. Sometimes the grass is kind of naturally yellowish. If I were doing this photo, I would make a little perspective adjustment and make the outside columns straight. and perpendicular to the bottom of the photo. Otherwise, great work. Keep it up and have a GREAT DAY!.

:thumbup: That was my first thought on the columns too, but now I don't think so. They add a little unreality / interest IMO.

I generally don't care for HDR but I liked this version.
There is a little perspective distortion visible in the columns and is it an illusion or is that horizon slightly tilted?

But not to sound negative, I like the photo. It gives me a feeling of man's permanence.

I tried a perspective adjustment but it causes me to lose the two outside pillars when the cropping is done... so I left it as it is.... I shot with no margins..

I though that might be the case. That's the downside of PC (perspective correction) software.

I suspected the slight horizon tilt was my eyes and not the actual image.

These were just minor observations, I like the image.
