(1193) [2009-06-14 12:45] This is certainly a more naturalistic effect Brain, it works very well. It's still identifiable as a an HDR by it's even tones and characteristic crispness, but it's a very acceptable outcome I think.
On the subject of "overcooking" things, I always find I need to reduce the yellow channel saturation quite a lot on my HDR's. Certainly any that have vegetation in them. I find that I can often get away with leaving some of the other colours more intense, if the greens and yellows don't scream at you.

The tonal range of the dark sky, contrasted agaisnt the sand is very effective, and the dramtic composition of the foreground really suits such a dramatic backdrop.
A very high standard of work
(1193) [2009-06-13 11:34] Nice shot Brian...Great colour palette and contrast.
I think I'd like it a little touch sharper, but other than that it's grand.
(1193) [2009-06-05 11:50] [+]How funny Isa! Both our shots posted so close together, with same subject, same framing and style!...We have a saying here "great minds think alike"
I really like the ripple of the leaf in this shot, and the richness od the dark green, against the background.
Very well done.

(1193) [2009-04-29 13:32] A very cool shot Jan.....Did you have to use any noise reduction software on this afterwards?

(1193) [2009-04-19 2:02] Fabulous capture Martyn...the soft tonal graduations work really well. And I like the gold. A stunning view.
Forgive me for saying that the title looks a little "clumsy" (can't think of a better word for it) superimposed over the image though. Maybe in a frame area, or with a lighter weight of font would be better.
Great shot Jan... Lighting is superb!
I'm familiar wih the Batavia story, so it's very interesting to see what the ship really looked like.
If you haven't read it already I can recommend "The Company" by Arrabella Edge. It's a novel set around wreck of the Batavia, from the point of view the survivors. Fiction, but very evocative of the horror of the true story.
