Challenge: Sunset or Sunrise (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Nikon
Location: Koh Samui, Thailand
Date: Dec 8, 2008
Galleries: Water, Seascapes
Date Uploaded: Dec 7, 2008

 The Image: My first HDR entry...I am not a fan of my laptop screen, so I am sure I will kick myself when I see this properly...

The Edit: Merge to HDR, some colour balance adjustment layers, some d and b, some cleaning up using some blur and cloning of minor sports

The Prediction: Not sure how this looks on a proper screen, not sure if it is sharp enough but I am going to guess there will be some amazing shots...6????

Post; Quite happy with this result. There were some great contenders and the top 10 are amazing...I wish I had of had the opportunity to edit this on a real screen as I used my small 12" Tablet PC on holidays and that's not the best screen to edit images on...Thanks everyone

Ooh just gorgeous! Prime example of good use of HDR without pushing it. Love the power and frozen movement in the water too.

I think you made a a very good work with the editing on your small laptop.
My only nitpick is the level of vignetting (whether natural or pp) on upper right and lower left corners.

I don't see how it could be improved on. It looks perfect. It's a stunning capture and an great finish in such a strong, high-scoring challenge.

I like the flurry of movement in the water. slightly off-kilter but not a big deal.

Great texture on the water and the blue of the sky in the upper right is to die for, really nice.

It almost looks like you were focusing on the water in the foreground instead of the sunrise...

great color, love the water action on the rocks, the horizon seems to slant to the left just a little
