Wonderful soft tones and light on the sand and fence. Inviting and warm. Peaceful. Great handling of the sun and clouds. The only trace of blending is at the waters edge where the fence meets water and the sky around the area of grasses...a bit brighter around the fencepost. But a solid attractive shot that is superbly composed. Ken S

Oooh...now that is a purty shot, Doug! The highlites on the fence are outstanding. This is a great example of why i dont mess with HDR--why bother when you can get better results manually like this?
