I only looked at the comments after I formulated what I was thinking and see Bear called you a Bear-clone. I have to agree this looks like his special little location. Was it? Anyway, I didn't remember this was your Masters' entry. I do still think the colors are a bit overdone, but this is a sky to die for. Have you ever thought about starting a cloud library where you can take shots to superimpose in the BG or landscapes? I've toyed with it but wish I had a location close to my house that allows a pretty unobstructed view of the horizon. You could sort by direction, time of day, etc. Anyway, a sky like this is pure photographic gold.
It's too overdone, NOT. Why does there always have to be a negative comment attached to every HDR image I see? LOL I love this shot and have tried to come to this type of finish but have failed. Thanks for reinspiring me to try it again.
Great pp. This one falls a bit crooked on my eye though. Might be the way the water is laid out in the photograph... dunno. Beautiful colours and light though. Good luck :)
I think the sky is so good here that the deep colours of the foreground distracts the eye too much - it makes me wonder how it would look if either the reds or the lower half of the image was desaturated a little.
