Wow! The colours are intense. If you don't mind me saying so it might be a bit too much saturation Either way, it's a very cool looking scene! :thumup:

Thanks Iguanasan, I was just playing around with HDR toning. My computer screen isnt the greatest, so sometimes its hard to get perfection, but for the first time trying hdr I sure like it!

Nice habor - but the sky is great with these fine clouds!

Good eyes Iguanasan, I just turned down saturation quit a bit and didn't notice to much difference in color, so I think it might be time to go look at the new samsung 23" monitor that's out. Thanks for saying something about saturation. Ive been having nothing but trouble with the dark end of the spectrum also, not able to see noise that well unless it's really bad.

You're welcome. I'm always a bit afraid of saying anything when it's not in a critique thread but the image is very nice otherwise and the saturation was overpowering it a bit. It's still a great shot. Nicely done. Would love to see the adjusted one.

The adjusted one, I turned down saturation quit a bit, basically until the blue sky faded away then brought it back up a notch or two. Also increased contrast slightly. Im running on a 5 year old high def tv, so its not quit the same as a new computer monitor.

Awesome! Much more realistic. The other one had that feeling of an artists conception of a new building development if you know what I mean.

And I thought I had trouble with my display not being accurate. Not sure what you have locally but TigerDirect.ca has a bunch of monitors for $110 to $180 dollars which look great.

I like that 2nd version very much. The sky is awesome and really compliments the harbour.
