Congrats Kane!
I don't normally like HDR as I think 99% of the time they are over done...this is not the case in your images...
Fantastic image..well chosen too Scotty!
Happy NY everyone!

Great shot Kane and congratulations on PotW. I love HDR images, including
those which are strongly processed (i.e. overdone :) ). This one is restrained
in the processing, and an excellent outcome.

Great choice to round off the year Scott.

Just got back from holidays, thanks guys, only just noticed this.

I enjoy doing HDR processing, as you can get some nice effects and tones.

The best thing about it is, if you don't like you still have 3 decent images that can be processed how ever one likes...

Thanks again everyone.
