The first of a series of 3-shot HDR's taken at Portland Bill with varying results!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

The figure in the corner of the shot is great, takes a while to pick it up. Nice work

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
Interesting how the 3-shot has offered an element of long exposure in the waves here . . adds a sense of power to the image.

What a great post-processing today ! The juxtaposition of the 3 picts really give an extraordinary texture to the sea ! I love the muted tones too. That's a great image Dave.

@zOOm: Thanks zOOm, I wish I bracketed more to remove the haloing, but I still like how it turned out
@Luca Bobbiesi: Thanks Luca

Powerful and dramatic, Mother nature at her finest. A superb photograph, Dave. The lone onlooker gives a perspective of size.

My initial thought was how soothing the processing is in this one and I was really drawn by the composition and negative space ... that made me linger a bit and then I noticed the person standing on the rock. What perspective for the size of those rocks.

@Diane Schuller: Thanks Diane, glad you enjoyed it!

Beautiful... Human beings seem so small in front of these elements! Very poetic picture.

JJ from Jersey City, United States
I have only tried HDR once, i dont carry my tripod with me as much as I should, well better to say I seldom carry it, but this is excellent processing in my mind very realistic looking
Look forward to seeing other shots

@JJ: I only use a mini-manfrotto, so it's not too heavy to carry around. I need to invest in something a bit buker if I'm gonna work in high winds like those again!
@One: Thanks One
