You're learning fast, Mike! Wonderful! I love the HDR here, should try and learn it myself. #6298652

Mike- Good morning my friend. From what I see here, I think you already did learn it. I use mine alot and enjoy what it can do for a picture.
This is absolutely stunning. Fabulous composition and pov. I love how you lead us across the bridge. That sky is breath taking. The colors and forms of the clouds show the force of nature. Outstaning lighting and clarity. The definitions you captured are out of this world. Its like every leaf, ever board on the bridge is defined with features and textures that are unbelievable. This is stunning work and just awesome.
Have a wonderful day, take care, enjoy #6298721
