Rolled out of bed at 4:30 the morning before New Years and drove into the Everglades.
Critique welcome. Happy New Years to all.

I like the details in the shadows Wayne. Works better that way then as a silhouette.

Gorgeous sky, Wayne. I would like to see even more details in the shadows. Not a whole lot more, but a 2 shot blend may have worked well here.

Mark, I should've mentioned in the post, this is a 3 shot blend. I didn't want to open the shadows any more because this ispretty much what the light was like at the time.

Wow, nice. It is so realistic, and that is a compliment. I'm on a laptop but I can see the detail in the FG, and yet it's still dark, not the muddiness that often comes with HDR stuff. It's crisp and clean, and the clouds are great; I think this is excellent. :toast:

You perfectly captured the atmosphere; the colors, the still water as well as the slight haze in the background let us feel this unique moment.
