[Didgi Widgi]

really like the boat and the striking blue

 

[Brocks]

Not sure about the first one sorry, It looks very noisy. The boat is fantastic though!

No1 without the noise would be stunning, love the composition it's just a shame about the noise..nice one.

Like composition of both. No 1 is a bit noisy.The processing makes it look like a drawing which is really good. The blue sails on the boat are a bit too blue for me. The scene in no2 is fantastic. Good captures

Two very good images spoiled by either poor HDR or processing.
They could be so good. Subjects, composition and crops etc are just great.

Love #2!

Number two looks great. Have you tried any noise tools on the first?

Sorry, the blue in pic 2 just does not sit right with me. It does not seem to fit with the scene - a little over done, but that's just my opinion.

 

[a1ex2001]

both a bit over processed for me. The first is noisey and the bridge looses some of it's imposing nature, nicely composed though. The second the blue just looks wrong to me and you've chopped the top off the mast, it is a stunning setting though and well worth a revisit with the camera.

I have a load more of the boat in portrait view so i will post a couple of the full mast including its full reflection in the water.

Like bith but 2 is super

 

[Fionab]

these two images could have been so goobut im afraid i have to agree with the poster that says the processing has spoiled them.
The bridges is the best of the two, the boat is just way too OTT, and misses the point of HDR which is meant to acheive a more realistic dynamic range. the composition of hte boats also lets u down, would have been so much better if you hadnt chopped the top off the mast.
The bridges have a washed out look which kind of suits the subject, but im not usre about hte amount of noise.

It's a shame about the noise in the first shot and definitely worth a go at reprocessing OR re shooting if you can get similar conditions....as I quite like it. The second as has been mentioned has the mast cropped :bonk: looking forward to the others without the cropping though.
