I got extra low with my 10mm (widest lens I had) to try to get the puddles/holes leading away feeing. I took three photos and "HDR'd them" into one to get the nice color, brightness and reflections in the lower part of the photo while saving the sky from being overly bright
I had taken photos in the same place which is why I ran back to it that day to get a better one (when I saw the awesome sky and potential of a great sunset for the background) - I also took some horizontally, which I thought looked better in some cases but this one really seemed to be my favorite although I always lean towards likeing ones more that are horizontal more than a vertical one like this. It really allowed me get more sky though which I thought really added to this

Good use of the HDR technique. Beyond that, the composition would have been more interesting by choosing the horizon location above or below the vertical center. Also, the sun is center-middle.
this just broke my neck!(i was looking away when it loaded and my head snapped around super fast cause it looked so cool lol). f*cking incredible, like jumping around screaming awesome photo. if you know what i mean:) it just completely blows me away. if this doesnt get first i will have an extreme fit; its by far the best entry, by FAR!
I don't know where this is or how it was made but it look beautiful. Not much of a subject, just a close-up landscape shot of some puddles. Though colors and textures are efing amazing!!! good work!
This is a great photo. I love the reflection in the water and the pattern on the ground. The sky looks amazing and you processed it in an effective way while keeping it realistic. I find that hard to do. Excellent work my friend.
