Wow! Now that is processed or is it?

Great shot!

Where did you take that?

Ouch...It's just "too hot" for me and the colors way off...might be better viewed larger (on my computer it's about 3" wide)

Ack... my eyes! My eyes..

Lay off the HDR slider friend...waaay overdone in my opinion. The recognized sign of when you've over done it are the 'halos' created along the border of the land/sky and around the tree...

Either that, or you were using the dodge/burn tool while half way through a large bottle of something.

I'm sorry if I'm being harsh, but it looks so incredibly fake.. and that's ok if you were looking to go that angle, but I see the 'halos' as sloppy PP work... you really would benefit by learning how to use layers so that the areas where your PP borders with other areas wouldn't be so noticeable.

yea...thats way too much HDR processing. start with the original image and do subtle corrections and repost the image. crop out the tree to the left also. cant comment on any other aspect of the photo as it is making my eyes scream...sorry

I hate to put this so simply and harshly.

You've ruined a potentially beautiful photo.

I'd say skip the post processing and take the shot around sunset. You should get some great colors with those clouds and have a cool shot.
