We were shooting at a small local cemetery this morning. Tiny as it is, its amazing to read about people buried here who are historically significant to this community, and those who never grew old enough to get the chance.

They were very quiet. No signs of life.

oh I like this one a lot better.

and I guess it's usually quiet, until it's invaded by photographers....

Occassionally some bird photographers come here ... but usually it's very quiet.

IMO there should be a happy balance somewhere between your HDR and your original image.

I am always unsure with HDR's some people love em when they are pushed hard, other's hate the whole concept of HDR. I think I'm somewhere in the middle. Your HDR is growing on me the more I look at it...

It's not one of my best HDR's by a long shot Richard. I like HDR .... but I like them subtle for Landscape. I don't mind them being more aggressive in architecture. I do think they get used too often when it's not necessary.
A non HDR shot usually has more clarity too which is nicer quite often.

In a good way. I was just commenting on how HDR can show more of the range of tones.
