here is an HDR shot taken with 5Dll, 24-105@32mm, iso 200, 1/13th, 1/5th, and 1/2 with 3 stop ND filter and polarizer attached. Processed through DFine2.0(each individual photo), then Photomatix, and then just a bit of levels in Lightroom. Please let me know what you think.

Stunning Greg, the reflection, colors and detail are great. And honestly, one of the better HDR's I've seen. :)
Great, I'll second what everyone else has already said.

It's a great shot!
Sure wish mother nature gave you more blue skies or white clouds [;)]

Very well done. Before I read the caption I was trying to determine if it was an HDR. I was guessing that it was but the fact that I pondered it before making a judgement is a true compliment to how well you processed it1! These are the types of HDR images that I love. It looks like it "could" have been done with one exposure if the lighting was just right[:)]
What's in the background? Are those geese?

Great "wow" factor. This is really a nice image.
Can you post the 3 un-processed versions?

thanks everybody for the kind comments!!! It is always refreshing, and kind of a moral booster when you get positive feedback from other photographers. It's like"OK, I did take a really good photo"!! Here is another HDR, but this one converted to BW. Please tell me your thoughts. Oren, here are the original photos for the first HDR. Funny, I thought I was in RAW when I shot these, but they were all JPG. That attests to the quality that comes out of the 5Dll. Here you go.....
This shot taken with 24-105, ISO 200@35mm, 1/200, 1/100, and 1/50th, then ran through Photomatix with some levels adjusments in Lightroom 2.4

Wow!!! the difference between the HDR and the 3 originals is huge, I guess landscapes should be done the HDR way most of the time lol [:P]
