Tried my hand at an HDR of a local mountain.

You did well, just needs a little depth work,
The Sky, I like to see clouds, the white ones, the soft ones, which makes the sky more interesting.

Is that really a random mountain?  What is the difference between that and an un-random mountain?

I like it.  I think the midtones need some contrast.  I am sorry if I sound like a broken record, I say that about the midtones A LOT.  That's just one of the things I do often to make my images pop more.

Good job, I haven't tried HDR yet.  It's not really something you use in portrait work, so maybe someday I will get more into landscapes and try it out.

What?! Clouds?! In Washington state?! Grin

Have you done HDR? I really don't know where I should be setting the curve when changing it to 16bit, which is why the depth is probably missing.

Haha, good question. I guess a random mountain is one that I don't know the name of, LOL.

I'm bothered by that one brighter patch of trees right in the middle. Tongue

So, with a feathered lasso tool select the bright trees, inverse the selection and brighten up the shadows just a touch and add contrast to the midtones, it might make the bright trees stand out less, although, I didn't notice them until you said something.

In 8 bit, use the levels and selective color to give depth.
Here's a workshop
