Sculptures 2012 - HDR

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.

Forum rules
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.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Hi Cam - none of these look too outrageous so the HDR has definitely been tamed

At least the first three appear too flat for me - even the last but the look is ok for this one with some touches of light on the ground
In the second theres some ugly artifacting in the sky on the left (jpeg compression?)
I like the idea of the composition of VIEW :) how big were the letters?

Yes that was blow out that I didnt manage to bracket beyond + some JPG artifact.

The letter on "VIEW" would have been a good 70cm tall.

#2....you've caught the light and captured a beautiful landscape/seascape. The image has a lovely warm glow that just makes the veiwer want to be there.

#1 is way better than the shot of the same object I didn't like in your other post (again water a bit too cyan on my monitor)
The rest don't grab me (maybe I'm just not into "too dark" images at present :-))
