My first HDR

Well I took this shot with HDR in mind. Does it work?

The sky could probably be a made a little more dramatic by upping the contrast, and the saturation tweaked slightly to bring out some more of the colours throughout, but the composition's pretty good overall.

Needs a contrast boost, very hazy at the moment, and maybe a bit more colour. Like the photo though, the tree stump adds a nice touch to the photo, making the composition much more appealing.

Edit: Also maybe a slight crop at the bottom, just above that big rock under the end of the tree stomp, and some at the top to get rid of that tiny blue gap of sky top left. :)

I've really got to stop doing this, I'm sure I'm using up half TPF's bandwidth. I don't think you quite got the tone mapping right? I'm not sure I have either. :D

I guess I played it too safe. I'll give it another go in the morning. Thanks for the critique guys!
