Tried this spot several times but had trouble dealing with the contrast and lack of shadow detail until here where I tried a subtle HDR for the first time. C&C welcome.
Taken at O’Cahan’s Rock glen, Limavady, Co. Derry.
Tom –
This is a nice pleasant shot, and a good HDR conversion – if you hadn’t said it was one, I wouldn’t have noticed it.
A couple of things – the stream at bottom right is a little distracting – I’d either include more of it or remove it completely, and possibly push the steps a bit more to the right for better balance.
I also think that a slight deepening of the shadow tones would add a bit more mood to the shot.
