High Contrast HDR Post Processing

[bhayes]

Trying some work with HDR tone mapping. I typically do not like what I call "over-done" HDR's but they can have their place. Depending on taste, this one may be a bit too contrasty...

Thoughts / comments??

I personally really like this style - not sure the border around the sky does much for me though!

I don't think it is over done. I am not much for the border but the image is great. Good job. I really like how the trees came out.

If it was me (and I love color pop) I'd probably tone it down just a bit. That said, at this point it's just personal taste because the shot is a great one.

The thing I love with hdr is what it does to water. The depth and shine always looks gorgeous as it does in your shot.

Thanks for the comments.. and I agree on the border.. was playing with some different styles... am going to remove it from the master image.
