I submitted this to the last weekly competition so I held off on putting in here. But now that's it's over, I'd love some feedback on it. With light being difficult (and short) this time of year in Scotland, I wanted to play with HDR/composites a little bit. I didn't want anything to look fake but just evening out the exposure. It's the first time I've ever really tried it.

In this one, the water was incredibly still so the reflections were stunning. I tried to make the photo as close to what my actual eye saw with 5 frames to make the composite. Constructive feedback is much appreciated!!

So this is the sort of HDR I like. When it looks more natural than fake. Still water is great. I rarely get to any, and when I do it always seems windy. My only constructive criticism could be if it was a few weeks earlier, those trees on the right might have been full of autumn leaves. But definitely a winner.

Did you pay the photographer who took the shot, or ask her permission to use it?

none of the above as of yet, as I am not sure if it will be kept in the final. once fina decision is made, I will seek permission

Thanks so much for taking a minute. My original trip was actually a few weeks earlier but I had to postpone due to work. So I'm right there with you on timing. haha.

Story of my life. Right place, wrong time!
I think I've postponed 99% of my trips this year. I do have a free day tomorrow though, so I've just got to decide where to go. Oh and charge my batteries!

At about 10 lbs to a gallon, I find it hard to image the forces at work and the amount of energy it takes to move so much water like this.

Isn't gravity great? I cannot imagine living without it.

Great picture
