What a dramatic shot. I like the wispy sky set against the forest edge.I still think some of the image is blown out despite the HDR.

This is absolutely beautiful. The bright area of the sun may be slightly blown, but that's appropriate for an image like this one. You can't see detail if you look directly into the sun, so it shouldn't show up in a photo - if it does, the image will look unnatural. You've done a pretty good job with your HDR rendition. I do see some telltale graying of the sky between the brightest areas and the cleaner blue beyond. That region looks a bit heavy - a common problem with HDR images.

I love the misty atmosphere, and the beautiful sky. Thanks for sharing it here in the anonymous gallery!

this a lovely scene. The sky is dramatic and the ground fog is really cool. Nice job.

I like the overall feel of this. It's quiet and calming. I do think there's a bit of hue difference in the sky, between the left part and the part around the sun. I like the mist, though, and the comp. I think it might be even neater if your tried some more "artistic" types of effects.

I really like the soft tones and the detail throughout the image, there is something to look at in all areas of the image.
