Is this over the top?

12 years 5 months ago #174009 by steveheap
I went to Great Falls last night, hoping to get some nice sunset colors, but no luck - the sun set behind some clouds and so the lighting was very flat, so I tried a 5 shot HDR. Not as subtle as some of the ones I have done, but I think it works on the rocks surrounding the river. I blended in the sky from a normally exposed shot to reduce the HDR effect in the sky and clouds, which was really over the top.

What do you think?

Not over cooked at all! But a tad over exposed? Maybe a bit more contrast?

Not overdone at all. I like it. I want to see it bigger.

Absolutely stunning, being really cheeky would it be possible to see a version without the foremost tree :)
