I stepped on this shot. High on saturation a touch contrast brought the Cokin filter down on top of trees to bring in the sky. Dropped the kelvin a few thousand degree. Active D lighting on normal.
The one & only HDR. My first wack at it, few years back
Nice image but to be honest that doesn't really look like the ideal subject for an HDR shot. I've thought HDR was for really high contrast scenes, which I'm not seeing here. Anyway I've found just shooting RAW and bringing the shadows up is better than HDR anyway. OK that's my 2 cents - here's my pic for today.
