ALRIGHT! A reply from the Crit Club! Cool!
Thanks for the kind works sfalice! It was, indeed, one of my first attempts at HDR, that was only a few weeks ago.
To date I've already decimated one tripod, and taken some AMAZING shots of my home area of Tillamook, Oregon.

GREETINGS FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

If this is early in your HDR career, you are doing quite well. It isn't "overblown" in the HDR sense, where unnatural coloration and strange visions dance before the eyes. :-))

I very much like the background mountains, soft yet interesting and the grasses work well in the image. that straight line in the midground (the water) acts as a magnet for the viewer. If it was mine, I'd probably try to get down a bit more to eliminate that straight edge.

Then, yes, you could use something in the foreground to provide interest and keep the viewer in the picture. Move around until you could get a tree or even a large-ish snow patch in there. (If you can't find a dog or a kid - joking)

Keep up the good work. I'll look forward to seeing more of your art.

A very good nature photographer from the NW is talmy. Good HDR, if that's what it is!

Even though the picture is uninteresting the tonemapping almost redimes it.

Lovely landscape with basic colours. Seems soft. A characteristic of that wide angle?
