Another HDR shot of my sister's place up in central Texas. They got some rain last week, but all it did was soak into the cracks into the ground. Hope you guys have a great Friday. Tomorrow I go on a 75 mile bicycle ride! Learning to breathe differently, and to conserve energy, even while riding!

Howdy Linda & hellow upstairs neighbor! (Look down)

The red & white steers contrast well, against the blue sky, & add nice focal points. Excellent sharpness & framing. Have a great weekend!

Hi Linda,

Well shot with a successful HDR...I wish I can take photos like yours one day...

Have a nice day!

Hola Linda, una hermosa escena, gran calidad y nitidez colores vibrantes, ls modelos utilizdas se matuvieron impasibles mientras tomabas esta foto, la formacion de nubes le da gran imponencia la escena. felcitaciones.

Sorry my comment in spanish.

Hi, Linda -
Wonderful image that shouts "Texas!" The big sky, the longhorns, the scrub and cactuses give it a pronounced Southwest flavor. Again you demonstrate your skill with the HDR process. I'll show this one to my wife - she's a longhorn (UTexas alumnus) and never lets me forget it.

Bom dia Linda,
You had said for Chris that his post was a painting. Now, I say that yours is a Nineth Painting and it's marvelous. What DOF!
Best regards,
Raimundo

Linda the most interesting thing about HDR is how that it seems to make a photo look like a painting/post card. (similar to a bygone era)
regardless the effect I like how this turned out.
Good luck on the ride.

Hi Linda,
The contrast with the vignetting and the bloom is very subtly done, and gives at the scene a look of old movie. I adore this atmosphere and the fine composition with this Texas cows trio well placed in the image!
Very beautiful Annie

NB/ Good luck for tomorrow!

Hi Linda,
Again a superb view of the Texas landscape! Excellent composition and amazing well managed light creating awesome colours in landscape and sky. This one is really NG worthy! Great post for TL my dear cowgirl.

Hi Linda,
A nice natural looking HDR. I like the depth in the photo and the beautiful rough nature. The Longhorns are captured perfectly and their spread in the composition is wonderful. You also captured them razor sharp.
Somehow this reminds me of a restaurant. :)
TFS,

I love your HDRs Linda! This photo is incredible! You achieved fantastic 3D effect. I'm so impressed with this photo.

I love these shots....I wish your program existed for the Mac since I don't like the results of Photomatix with the halos...

Excellent Linda - nice compo, pin sharp and the light looks great. Bit of haloing around the tree but I really like the overall effect of this shot..
