Well - there may be a few other choices then that, but if that is the extent of your thoughts, I see no reason to comment further.

Gregory- I'm fairly new to this site. What is HDR? I see it mentioned all the time and really don't understand. Can you explain and how it relates to your photo?

This is my first try at HDR
Greg, I don't see that HDR added anything to the photo. There doesn't seem to be a wide dynamic range here now. The photo is overall fairly dark, except for the light sky showing through the trees in some spots. The lens flare also hurts. HDR is best used when there is a wide variation between the darkest and lightest parts of an image, and where there is also a wide range of colors from the reds to the blues, across the entire spectrum.

Well first off, I will give you an A for effort. But a F for shooting into the Sun, causing lens flare. Not to mention the actual light spot, there is a hazyness that defeats the idea of HDR.
Now I am not perfect, and on ocassion to get the shot, I make the same boo boo's. But making HDR's requires more time to think, and setup the shot. So start looking at the finished product before you pull the trigger, it won't run away like a Turkey does. :)

I am no Gregory, but I do a lot of HDR, which stands for High Dynamic Range. There are tons of info on the web about it. It is a technique used to allow a single image to display a range of tonal values in a very high contrast subject beyond what a camera can cover in one single shot. For example, you can get detail in a bright sky AND detail in the darkest shadows where it would be impossible to capture in one exposure.
True HDR uses two or more (usually three) exposures; as metered, two stops above and two stops below, and combines the best exposures of each into one image using layers in Photoshop or other software. It can be done manually or with one of many software applications available today. Below are some examples.
HDR images can be photorealistic, as mine are, or they can go for the more artistic "HDR effect", which has a cartooney look to it.
A night shot combining an 8 stop variation from the lights to the landscaping.
An interior lit only by door and windows, also with an 8 stop variation from landscape outside to fireplace.

Wow Architect, very well done!!
I haven't attempted indoor HDR yet, it just kinda scares the pants off me right now!!! I can AEB 3 exposures on my Canon, if I try to attempt more, that means pressing buttons to reset the AEB and my hands are NOT that steady!! Out of many shots, I've only been able to pull off 6 stops only once. Does it just require practice, or is there a technique to not jostle the camera?

Nicely executed. :)

A tripod is necessary when doing multiple exposures, but if you set your camera on a three shot bracket and use the high speed sport shutter setting, I can hold them steady enough without a tripod, thanks to a steady hand and Image Stabilization.

Architect - thanks for a full explan. of HDR. I have since read more about it. Your photos say that you have gotten the hang of it quite nicely!
Gregory, good luck with future HDR applications.
