Default My first go at HDR....

I'm not sure if I over did it, but after a suggestion from someone through flickr to try HDR on this shot I thought I would give it ago. What do you think?

The original... Goldmine at Waihi NZ

I like the effect on the 1st one but I dont' think the second needs any enhancing

I wander who is putting ideas in your mind...
I agree with Ty. The second picture looks good in the original form.
Regarding the first on you can already see more detail in the shadows. Now you can change the sky following this link:
BoitBlog: Put on a Happy Sky
and get a more realistic view.
It is not difficult to do and the results may be very satisfactory.

For my two cents, I would have stayed with the originals. A little more blue sky in the first one, maybe. Nice attempts however keep at it.

This isnt the critique section so I cannot offer you suggestions. On the same token please dont ask in this section, you'd be better of posting in the appropriate critique area.
Sure looks like you are having fun! I'd love to visit that waterfall site
