I think that the rule makes the site of little value to those of us who want assistance from other artistic individuals. If they see a way to make an image better I love to have them show me their idea. If they have to wait for me to give them permission the spontaneous inspiration is lost. If people want Ooos and Aaahs about their images plus a pat on the back then Facebook or some other social media site is where they should be. If its on this site seems like it there to learn from others and they can change it and repost it back to the thread so everyone can share in the learning experience.

They are all my images and were placed in the thread because an example was requested.

Sorry to be so late getting back to you, I was separated from my image collection and had to wait.
I have attached three images that I used to create an HDR Image that I like. It was taken at a train station near London. On the left side of the image it is very dark and I wanted to capture the detail of that area. The center of the image contains a tunnel and wanted to see what was at the other end and not just a bright area, and the right side of the image is bright and easily over exposed. This I think is a good example of what you need to use HDR to capture what your eye see.
I will attempt to attach the final image but it is number 4 and I have to post this first.
Under exposed
Correct exposure
Over exposed

Think you are already a good photographer, but maybe it will help make you a better photographer and become an experimenter.

OK, try shooting at f/8.0 or f/11.0 to increase the depth of field. You can probably increase ISO to 200 or 400 and still get low noise if your camera is fairly new this would allow you to maintain a fast shutter speed. In picture two I would try focusing on the hay rake and see if you don't get a sharper total image. Also shooting at f/8.0 or f/11.0 is probably close to the sweet spot of your lens for sharpness. Back off just a little to say 50 mm and see if that doesn't improve your image, many zoom lenses are not their sharpest fully extended. Hope this helps, happy shooting.

Interesting image, couldn't resist playing with it a little to see what impact cropping would have on it. Ended up cropping it square and it changes the whole dynamics of the image. see the attached.

It is much better without the wire and made it worth the wait. If the first image had her looking a little more at you with catch light in her eye it would be even better. The suns position probably would not have allowed that to happen since it appears to be coming from the left. If you could get the sun more behind you it would be better when taking wildlife or not so wild animals and birds.

I think the images are a little soft, not sharp focus. What kind of lens were you using and what was the setting if it was a zoom. Need the camera info also to understand what you did.

Nice images, you will have to go out this winter now and see if you can improve on them. Looks like you are having fun shooting.

I think you just have to test your market and see what it wants. The grandparents image is the most emotional the other two are OK, but don't do any thing for me. Lots of luck with your venture.

Based on the additional info I would say there is a chance that your autofocus got you. If you are shooting a still shot, hand held, using auto bracketing you might want to focus then set the camera to manual focus and then shoot your bracket.
