Nicely done. So many HDR images don't look real. This is right there on the edge where the observer can't really tell whether it is or isn't. That's how I like to see them.

They are all very beautiful for sure. My only minor critique (and I realize this is probably just personal preference) is that the sky in all of them seems a bit over processed for my taste and not realistic. The sky seems a bit over saturated, especially in the upper portions. Still an very nice set.

Not trying to sound off negatively but I find my eye always going to the sky in each shot. This is always a problem with HDR because you can create so much color. I like how we can be creative and be artistic but it still comes down to what is the subject in the shot. Is it the sky or what's on the ground. I would use a gradient mask to tone down the sky color so you focus on the scene, which is very good and would bring the eye back to the teepees.
Yes, sky color can be a problem in Montana. It's already a brilliant blue. Less atmosphere at 3,000ft, to as much as 11K and far lower pollution. Time of day makes a difference too.
Those of us that live and shoot up here are kinda conditioned to what looks like abstract sky color. I really didn't notice until you pointed out the extra blue. I usually try to tone it down but it's tricky and in doing so, we lose some of the HDR we like so much.
These are outstanding photos. The modest HDR application really works. Yep, our sky is a higher scale of blue. Come on up and enjoy our sky of fewer light diffusing particles. I does take your breath away.
