    nicely done HDR's
    1 and 4 have a nice majestic ethereal feel about them
    4 feels like some cropping would put a bit more focus on it but nothing too detracting =p

    Other than the haloing around the trees, they're fantastic shots. :)

    They are incredible apart from the sharpness, I take it they soften when HDR is used?

    I think they would of looked much nicer if natural without HDR. HDR really ruins some amazing naturally looking landscapes. That's my 2c. For HDR's though definately good work.

    the shots are quite sharp, flickr non-pro sucks, have upgraded and am uploading 100% crops.

    i will upload the normal shots too, this way is 20x better IMHO

    Need to watch the Halo around the trees, try more light smoothing, does help, also softness brush.

    Good comps.... see what u can get from the single RAW.
