Another HDR shot of the ranch my friend Jerry owns. The house there on the property is in disrepair. There are interesting textures, old wood, rusty things scattered all around. It will take him a while to clean the place up!
I love the colors that HDR brings out! Processed a single RAW image to TIFF in three different levels, then merged in my HDR program. I use Corel ProX2

Ciao Linda, again neighbour eh eh, splendid composition with fantastic wooden house, wonderful texture on tree in FG and great colors, excellent shoot, very well done, brava, ciao Silvio

Hi Linda,

Wonderful mix of "autumn" colours. You'd think the red chariot would kick up the contrast but it actually blends in beautifully.

Nice HDR.

Greetings,

Patrick

Hi Linder,
This is almost a painting. Fantastic work here. The wagon really contrasts well with the old house. This is one of my favorite shots Linda and it should be submitted in your next exhibition. TFS Julie

Bonjour Linda

Bonne technique du HDR et qui donne un effet très agréable et qui s'harmonise parfaitement avec la vue.
Une bonne ambiance.
Amicalement

Hello Warrior,
I love this shot, wonderful colors, excellent composition and pov, good sharpness and depth of feild, the dramatic sky adds to the mystery of the place.
Thanks
Angela

Hi Linda
wonderful HDR work and well captured pov
good details in the image (place seems so abandoned but this is the real soul you gave us)
HDR works really well in this situation
well done.
Now I go to your neighbour (did you call each other before posting??) :)
ciao
Lucio

Hi Linda
I like this photo.
The tree on the left side has a face of a dog. I am wondering whether or not you have a photo just "the face of a dog". :-)
Best regards

Hello Linda,

You are becoming a real expert with HDR.
You are right about it bringing out the colours.
It also highlights the textures! The broken branch and the tree trunk are prime examples.
Well done!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hi Linda,
I totally agree with Bev! You are a true master of HDR post-prossessing!What grabs me is the tonality of the sky! You give a such artistical touch at your photo and create a timeless mood.
My compliments! Annie

Hi Linda,
Great work with the HDR, you certainly have made those details and colours stand out. Cheers

Hi Linda,
I love this one, very good job! Sort of reminds me of the house I uploaded the other week, such a suitable scene. You've got a good eye :). Those withered looking branches hanging down are very effective, the yellow tones work nicely too. Nice bonus from the red wheelbarrow against the tree in the FG, each element of this photo has it's own distinctive 'task'. Well seen.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Linda
Another great shot - pleanty to look at, great detail, and the use of HDR makes the colours pop out of the canvas.
Nice one.

Hi Linda,
HDR works so well with these old houses (if its done properly) and you have got it spot-on. Well composed and a nice balanced PoV
well done
Jack

A nice balance of detail and contrast. Excellent photo!
Best wishes,

Hi, Linda -
Great composition conveying the gradual decay of the place. You are really mastering the use of HDR. I often find that HDR images look unnatural, but you manage to avoid that result while maximizing the details and colors of everything in the frame. The vignette adds a nice touch. Well done.

Neat shot, Linda. Love the colors & mood of this.

WOW great HDR
nice comp
TFS

neat shot linda, the hdr very cool, i love these old rustic looking shots, great job here,
tfs,

I like this - it looks almost surreal. The red wagon makes the shot for a nice color balance. The mood is "Brueghelesque" (no definition in the web: did I just invent a new word? - it describes the mood found in a Brueghel painting).

Cheers
Otto

At first I thought: a haunted house! :-)

The HDR tones fit really well, they emphasize the 'disrepaired' mood of the shot. Nice, natural frame with the trees and branches. Great job.

Cheers,

Nath
