Walkway at Nature Center

[Don Chesnut]

This is a 7 shot HDR of the walkway at the Nature Center north of Lewisburg, Ohio. I used Photomatix along with Topaz Adjust and Nik's Viveza and Color Efex Pro with subtle adjustments.

Don, it is an interesting image and the boardwalk carries the viewer into and through the woods.

I am wondering if you really needed HDR in this image, and whether you couldn't have worked with just one of the 7 images. One of the difficult things I found when using tone mapping is getting the sky correct. There appears to be a magenta cast in the sky at the top of the trees. Other than that, you did a nice job of processing.

Thanks, I may try one photo. I just like to do HDR. I may try using just one of the photos to see what I come up with.
