One of my early attempts at HDR.
I could have got all this with just the one shot but wanted to practice.
Taken at Southerndown on the heritage Coast in South Wales, UK

Manual focus
Various shutter speeds
Tripod

I personally like this very much. Its an excellent composition and the dramatic sky does not look overcooked. My only nit might be that the yellow on the horizon looks a bit strong but regardless this is a fine shot.

Good blend. Looks very natural. I love the colors of the foreground rocks.

Nice and subtle use of HDR here. The leading lines work very well and I also like the foreground rocks with their colors and texture.

I love the FG here with the great textures and subtle colors, and the dramatic sky certainly doesn't hurt either.

Very natural looking HDR Geoffrey. I like your point of view, that stormy sky, and the textures and colors of the foreground rocks.

Nicely done Geoffrey. Foreground rocks have lots of interest.

Nice contrast and color the the converging foreground rocks pull me into the frame. I like it!

The bright yellow horizon sandwiched between the rocks and stormy sky really sucks me in. Very nice.

I like this very much Geoffrey, I think the more natural look is is very well done here. I like how the leading lines of the foreground and also the clouds seem to pull me to the horizon.
