Particularly like the truck shots - the HDR look works particularly well with those kind of subjects. I'm left wondering about the final two - I wonder if I may have got much closer to ground level to take those shots and attempt to add some more drama to the composition as well as the processing.

Cheers,

Each to his own, I guess.

I can't help feeling that a more natural treatment would have been just as good. Mostly nothing wrong with the compositions (sky is a bit too thin in the first of the thrombolite shots), but there's bags of detail and interest to keep the attention.

I do like 1 and 3; 1 looks almost natural, and 3 is just so bold and the colours are fantastic.

The horizon in the last one has a troubling curve to it, otherwise I like that too.

Kudos to Trouty for spotting the yawn, which I also like, again mostly because it's reasonably natural looking.

Not really criticising the effects, HDR just isn't my thing. Slightly oversharpened, though, perhaps.

I like number three, the tones in the colours are fantastic. Looking at number six, I assume you could not move more to the left. That boardwalk seems to have some interesting curves as a lead in

Was the last one taken in the shade as it has even lighting. The rest are taken with the sun high up in the sky and it's not a flattering light!
