	Please give me any comments or critiques on these pics. Generally I do not shoot with the intention of creating HDRs, but I just figured out how to do it, so I made a lot. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

	1 I like it. 2 Isn't aligned right and it makes the trees look funny. 3 Has halo's around the house and trees and lots of grain in the sky. was it shot at high iso or is that from the processing. I think it would be better if the whole mower was in the frame. 4 The colors are cool but it seems crooked/distorted was it shot with a fisheye/wide angle? 5 The same as 4 and the pallet in the corner distracts me. I'm also like that you didn't crank these up so they make your eyes bleed. Subtle HDR is the best if you decide to use it. Posted by Send4Help Man...

	I agree with uzi. The main problem is framing the shots. Also, the photoshop lens distortion filter is your friend. Instagram "Adventure is worthwhile in itself." -Amelia Earhart

	All of these are HDRs, 1) Is 3 pics combined 2) The wind causes the trees to move between pictures, also 3 pics combined 3) Is also 3 pics combined, is the the halo that distracting to most people? But yes, I intend on going back at some point to get 2 other similar pics. One of them with no lawn mower, the other with the entire lawn mower. That is one of my favorite pictures though; those textures are remarkable IMO 4/5) Both of these are 9 pics, it is 3 sets of 3. I turned each set of 3 into a HDR, then stitched them together. Thanks for the comment about subtle HDRs, that is what I like the most. Although 3 isn't very subtle, that picture really gets me excited... What is wrong with my framing, other than in #3 and I suppose #5 as well?

If your camera does RAW making an HDR from one exposure would solve this problem.

#5 isn't vertical and that pallet. And #3 isn't vertical either. Does your tripod have a level bubble? That was fairly helpful to me I can't always tell when looking in the viewfinder either.

	I think #1 is the strongest image in the set. I like how the tracks lead your eyes towards the middle of the frame. Plus I love trains so maybe I'm a little biased towards that shot. I think #3 would be a great shot if it wasn't HDR. It looks really grainey.
