Re: PESO:sunrise over lake Zurich (surreal HDR)
Markus, you produced two HDR images in a raw that are extremely pleasant to my eye. I am afraid that if you produce the third one, I shall be left with no choice but to grant you the Master of HDR title ;-). Print it big, will you?

However from the perspective of a viewer that was not there when the shot was made it looks very good compared to the vast majority of HDR output that I've seen. Very nice.

RE: PESO:sunrise over lake Zurich (surreal HDR)
Thanks Jack for looking and commenting. I need to get up more often very early in the morning or work until then to get views like that. The morning light near the lake is just wonderful and somehow new for me because I'm more used to take photos in the later afternoon.

Re: PESO:sunrise over lake Zurich (surreal HDR)
It's beautiful. I guess it depends where you come from, it does not looked tweaked or artificial from my perspective ... but then I rarely get to see that around here (Philippines).

Perhaps a little over the top with regards to an accurate recording of the scene, but who cares? It is a lovely expression.

RE: PESO:sunrise over lake Zurich (surreal HDR)
Hi Kenneth, Marnie, Peter, Bong, Subash, Godfrey and everybody I forgot :-) I'm glad that you liked my attempt for a HDR. Maybe I'm just influenced because I know how the scene really looked like but for me, the HDR adds a kind of silver-blue metallic cast to the water. Without a skylight filter I expect some bluish tint early in the morning but here it does look too artificial for me. Maybe I'm just not tolerant enough yet for that kind of computer manipulation ;-) Thanks a lot for looking and commenting.
