I like the shot as it is at the moment. It looks great! I really like the composition.


I personally wouldn't make the sky any grayer.

I often think of a HDR image as a normal image with fill-light.


If you are looking for that extreme HDR look, I can't really help you. I prefer the more natural looking HDRs.


You have one lighter spot in the foreground, where does that come from?
