HDR waterfall overdone?

[Irondiver]

Is this over done? Five exposures -2 to +2 processed in Photomatix Pro then Lightroom2
Exif:
Nikon D-200
focal length 18mm
f-stop 22
shutter speed 1/25 sec
iso 100
metering program pattern
exposure program manual

Certainly not to me , but then again my HDR's turn out more akin to paintings , the test I guess is whether it still looks like a real scene with some colour enhancement , which to my eye thats what this looks like , if you have a chance to follow my flickr link you'll get a good idea of what overdone looks like ha ha . All the best

The first one I did had halos around the trees. This time I thought the sky may have been overdone with too much vibrance

[Snowdust]

I like it, but I personally think the sky is a little too much. If you toned that and the very front leaves in the foreground down just a bit, I would be perfect in my opinion.

Nice job. I don't think it is overdone at all. Just right.

Unfortunately the water in the falls is blown out, which kind of ruins the picture. Your blues and greens are a little too bright for me as well.

[Harlz]

It certainly looks like a nice spot. Perhaps get their a little earlier or later in the day when it's darker? You'll get a more fluid water effect too.

Thanks for sharing. Here's my take on it: The blues seem to be tolerable but the greens are just too bright. The dark shadow of the plant in the foreground is really harsh and is distracting. Just my two cents.

Cheers!

HDR done well and looks good but could do with the saturation of the sky and the greenery in the foreground being turned down slightly

but a nice pic well done

Iorndriver, the water looks inconsitent in the foreground blur and in the background with more definition, so probably HDR demands other kind of scene
good job
