Nice HDR. Image could have been crisper IMO. 8

Is this a "dynamic range" photo? (likely I have that name wrong) Sweet. Colors are wild good.

I love the reflection here. One day I hope to get to visit Ireland and find gems like this to photograph.

Hi,

Used a Sigma 10-20 lens with Nikon D300 on tripod. Took 5 different exposures. Used same aperture (F11) and bracketed 5 different raw images. 2 underexposed, 1 correct exposure, and 2 overexposures. Then loaded these images into Photomatix (HDR). After that levels and some sharpening. Thats it. I know HDR is not to everyones taste, but i love it.
Thanks for the nice comments.

I like this a lot. A conspiracy of cows and clouds, of hillside and horizon.
