Trying out the Fusion 2.0 software. I'm not sure what half of the options mean-- halo, mode 1, mode 2, etc. so am just kind of playing with it. One thing I see is that the whites of the clouds were much less white in the HDR. But overall they are much clearer and brighter than the original edits.

I am not a fan of HDR as it is so often over done but here you have controlled it very well - in fact I wouldn't have guessed you had done it, and that is the effect I like best! SADHYA · 2011-10-01: 03:42

I like #2. I think you are doing well with the HDR as you are not overprocessing and the affect leaves a "real" looking photo with more depth. The other HDR affect I like to see is when the result looks like a painting. stabeez · 2011-10-01: 07:07

Amazing and beautiful photo collection. This looks like a splendid illustration of how HDR should be used with out looking too hyper realistic. Well done. tcalbaz · 2011-10-01: 09:19

Very nice - particularly when enlarged. Beautiful! elisabethwarren · 2011-10-02: 00:37
