Die Hel

It sure doesn’t look like Hell Deon. Gorgeous landscape, well worth the trip to Hell and back. What are those plants in the foreground??

I am not very fond of HDR mostly becouse it often destroys a good photo in a way.

You might have a nice photo under there but I think the HDR is too much.

What a gorgeous place, and what a great shot. Looks like you had a weekend and a half!

You’re setting your standards a tad too high Deon, this is FANTASTIC – I just love the shadows from the cloud in the background

Thanks Lillifrog

Thanks Tonilouise it is a beautiful place
They are Aloe Ferox, the african species of the aloe vera plant.

Thanks for your comment Hjalti. Good to have someone elses oppinion.

Thanks Stuart. Most kind comment.

Hey Deon, I too am only just discovering the fabulous (IMHO) world of HDR.
I think in this one you fell into a trap like I did. Oversaturation of colour. Mel Brackstone pointed it out to me and ever since I have tried not to oversaturate. Mel’s pics are awesome and I am trying to emulate her. I’d love to see this image posted again with the colour levels toned down a touch, because I think it has great potential.
Cheers

Thanks for thoise constructive copmments Michael

WOW! I love it.
Tony

nothing beats a bit of saturation,looks great,my choice…....this one.

THanks mick
I must say I see the argument for both but I actually really like this one too.

Awesomely breathtaking!

Thanks Helene and Antanas

I think you are setting your standards very high indeed. this is a wonderful shot the sky is fantastic. As said before the foreground is a little oversaturated but only slightly.
Wonderful.

Thanks Steve, the kind comments are much appreciated.

This is awesome. I love the sky in particular

THanks Danny

i dont know much about the HDR since i dont mess w/ programs, but this looks great, so from what i can tell you did an awesome job on it

THanks Christopher. I think that the second one might be a bit better tho’?

Brilliant ! Love the colours – magic !

It so reminds me of the colours of the Pilbara and the Kimberleys!

Gorgeous landscape, very inspiring.
