I like what you've tried to do here - but for me it hasn't worked and the reason is simple. Left side of the frame far side of the lake/ pond and the trees are all out of focus/ blurred causing my eyes to say look else where. With almost a third of a picture like that i found myslef cliking back to the thumbnail. Shame...

Yeah thx - these HDR's are tricky - you have to be exactly spot on. I think I'll try a blend instead as it tends to realign better. Well, that's that these forums are for so back to the drawing board!

yes - i know what you mean. I've as yet to get and HDR to work successfully although i have got one or two panoramas to work. What you're trying to achieve is much more demanding than anything i've tried. Maybe i need to give it a go!
