Nice HDR!

No halos, and it's definitely not overdone! Great work GB!

Beautiful stuff GB! Love the ambient light effect down low, giving way to the ominous dark sky above. :thumbsup:

I like it GB but think you should give it a slight contrast boost.

Thanks fellows. Greg, I did mess with this one a bit after I HDR'd it. The way I look at it, if it's going to be processed, anything goes.

After all is said and done, I am not sure the subject is strong enough here to be a really great shot. Alas, it was nice seeing the cacti.

You need to stop admitting to hdr work. Your hdr work always looks so natural.
I like it.

Ha.. OK Frog, I will see if I can deceive you guys!!

Awesome. How do you avoid the halos?

[CaraRose]

Nice, very natural. I do wish the tops were a little less dark, they blend into the sky slightly.

Excellent lighting and detail. I might think its a bit stronger if there were just one cactus.
Very good stuff.
