Did you use a dodge tool on this?

I like the shot BTW...:judge: :judge: :judge:

Nice capture...love those Glory rays! I like both versions, but I suspect the second one would print better? :judge:

That's really lovely. You got the lights and darks and varying shades of blues and whites nicely.

I don't care for the HDR, to me it looks fake at worst and seems to be more along the lines of a photo illustration at best (I feel like I notice the effects more than the photo). Although this is more subtle than a lot of the HDR.

Very dramatic, Dori. Was this a one-click HDR-ish application. Each has its own "value". Love that you noticed this opportunity. :thumbsup:

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

Thanks so much everyone!

I didn't use the dodge tool, pretty much straight out of the camera with at tad of tweaking with exposure and saturation.

I agree, the HDR is a bit over the top but I had fun with it!

Baydream, what do you mean?

Some software has a filter that creates an HDR-ish look. Check PM. #1 may look more natural but #2 may be more of a wall hanger.

Dori, I love both of these, when I see sights like this it gives me goosebumps. I always say a prayer, cause it seems to me that this is the most visual picture of Heaven we'll get to see while we are here- for a brief moment, we are allowed to view it. Thank you for sharing this my friend. :)
