The sky looks really interesting Dave but it looks like the image is lacking in contrast.

I like it, as Dave said the sky is great, but I would perhaps reduce the top
just a bit, there is just a little bit too much dark sky, I love the colours
almost pastel in effect and I think if you boosted contrast that would be
lost.

Thanks for the replies folks and sorry i took so long :oops:

I had another look at the few shots i took that night and thought this one really suited a square crop…

this one is a single shot edited with Canon`s DPP

any opinions on this??

I much prefer the second non-HDR. I think it is a good illustration of why standard processing is better for most landscape photography (IMO).

Wow, what an improvement! The second version is excellent, the first looks unnatural and a bit washed out.
