Sunset Oregon Coast HDR
Here's last night's sunset image, or at least one of em. It was the beginning of a spectacular color show. I shot 8 frames off for this shot just to get the sun not be a huge blob.. It is a 50%crop from the original. I tried ot get the water beam reflection to behave and look natural. Maybe some more patients later will bring that to life.

The clouds are great and the color I bet was a great site to see.

That direct sun is cool. The exposure on these are hard to handle. I like the rays extending out from the sun. There's a really nice glow on the bottom of the clouds, too. Anyway, not too bad for HDR--it has lots of local contrast and looks pretty natural. Can't wait to see the end result once you get the foreground looking good, too.
