Hi Daniel,
I think this would have been an OK shot without the HDR treatment. As it is, it looks totally unnatural to me. There are halos, the sky has lost contrast, and I just find it painful to look at. If that was your intention, fair enough, but you maybe should mention that in the description.
Thanks for sharing,
Neil

Hello Daniel
The buildings in the background are too strong, especially the one on the leftmost. Try to lighten/blur the buildings. Good luck, Jonathan

The subject, in my opinion, does not benefit much from the HDR conversion. The halos over the trees is normally to be avoided. The lighting would appear to be entirely within the range of the camera's sensor capability. I would lean toward a single exposure and then maybe tweak the contrast an saturation to suit. The shutter speed choice looks good and the surf is shown well. Bill

Hi Daniel. I love the amount of HDR used here. Your photo looks tilted downward on the right. Otherwise this is a very well composed shot.

I think Daniel that if u crop the buildings and just leave the sea and rocks and then straighten the photo it could be a great image. Thx for sharing...George

Very strong composition and nice colors. The rocks at front left work especially well to draw the viewer's eye into the photo. The photo appears to be tilted slightly clockwise. The test I would make is to ensure that the vertical elements near the middle of the photo are truly vertical. The chimney and power pole confirm that there's a slight clockwise tilt. It seems everyone today has different opinions on heavy use of HDR. Generally I find it appealing but one of the more negative results is the light halos that form around trees and skyline; I'd be inclined to turn it back slightly to reduce or eliminate the halos which are especially strong surrounding the trees at left.

The good it is composite a photo. But I don't see the bases to do HDR. It has made a picture more dim, than it could be. Good luck!
