HDR self portrait

[MartysMadhouse]

Please critique. I was playing with a PS effect, I


got the effects tut from deke.com. done in photoshop lab color. Took one morning while drinking coffee and smoking. The sun was just over the fence and through the trees. Just got home from a fire and was tired beyond imagination.

Please check these out and edit your post accrodingly. Just so you know, they are also posted at the top of the page.
We want everyone to have fun and learn here at DPS. In order to insure that, there are some rules you need to follow when posting in the Critique sections:

Only ONE new critique request per day [/color](24 hour period) for ENTIRE critique section. Choose your image carefully.
Please post only ONE image in the thread. If you need to show more, link it to your set. If you post more than one, the other will be deleted at the moderators discretion.
Please keep images to 800px on the longest side. Mods reserve the right to resize oversize images or delete them until resized. This is easy to put up the proper size if you use flickr. If you feel it is necessary for us to see a larger size, link to it.
We strongly encourage the use of a photosharing site such as flickr, photobucket, zoomr, etc.
Please include the following information, if possible, with your image: EXIF info, type of camera, specific questions (What do you think? is not a specific question). A meaningful title, NOT "Critique Please", will also get your post noticed in a crowded section.
Only post if you are willing to be critiqued - this isn't a place for showing off, but a place for people to suggest how you can improve. If you don't think you need to improve then this might not be the section of our forums for you.

Marty,

How did you get that HDR effect? I just heard of HDR today and wonder if you need something additional to do this effect. I work with Elements 7, by the way.
You must be a fireman. Thanks for keeping Georgia safe. I live here too.
