HDR C&C please

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

#3 does it for me! Cracking shot - the reflections work well - do you have an shots of this front on/directly in front to the pool/pond? Have to get into some more HDR myself. Nice work ben.

I really like #1 and #2 although I would be inclined to clone out the wooden structure on the right side of #2

Hi, I haven't touched HDR as yet but find the treatment in #2 the most pleasing and interesting to look at
#1's a bit bland & #3 a bit ovedone to the IR - but only my uneducated opinion

#3 is a really interesting shot, would it be improved if the horizon was straight?

#1 an OK shot but I would like to see a closer view as there is too much to see in this pic

#2 a very nice shot but it could do with some more contrast

#3 is just superb

Really like 2 & 3. As for 2, I would like to see it with the structure cloned out. I'm a sucker for old machinery, and an old Fordson is as good as it gets. With regards to #3, great shot. I also would like to see it without the large tree on the left, maybe closer to the pool. In any case, you've done Hyde Park proud with this one.

Tone down the Lim, and pull the contrast up, also try reducing the light smoothing a little.
