Very good shot, lovely tone mapping

Wonderful find, and well done author, the detail in the wood is very nice...well chosen subject.

Thank you both.

nice one -- must be old as I sat in desks like this in a small town in Saskatchewan called Tantallon with two grades in one room

Nice

@ Alan, I was raised in England and they were pretty much like this when I grew up. As soon as I walked in I could feel the back of my hand get hot from the memory of getting whacked with a ruler by the head mistress! Things are very different today!

Classic HDR, love it, nice wide angle

Really like this one. Keep it up.

Simply beautiful work, nicely done

Thank you for you nice comments everyone.

Absolutely gorgeous photograph. I can't find a thing wrong with it. Great work.

Fantastic capture!

Stunning

Stunning!!!!

Simply wonderful!

Simply incredible work author...I wish i was nearly half this good with HDR, you MUST write us a tutorial someday describing this technique...I'm sincerely in awe

Fantastic. Looks so realistic.

This shot is the "cat's meow"....LOL, nicely done author. I just tried something like this, but the darn animal kept moving too much.

Nice shot, you would never know it was HDR, which is half the magic.

Voted, great shot his nose almost pops out of the frame. very shallow DOF seems to work well for this shot. Curious, is this a one shot HDR?

What kelvin said, is this a bracketed shot, or a single shot?

well this is bracketed shot in raw, outdoor with good lighting and last not least 9fps
...i guess im lucky bcause this cat not a camera shy...thank you for all of your comments!

Ok, 9fps - seriously fast

Nikon D3 per chance? Nice camera if you have 5 grand sitting around!

D3...huhu $$$! I'm still sticking with the previous model before D3..u know..

Fantastic sky, shame about the small amount of ghosting around the top of the roof line.
That said, I love this shot.

Very eerie!! But I love it!! Not bad for being handheld.

Thank you for the comments. The ghosting was bothering me too, so I fixed it.

Ahh yeah, that's MUCH better.

Love the lens flare too.

Just a hair on the 'overcooked' side for what I might have done, but, that being said...it REALLY works here...nice work author, I can feel the mood of the shot. Well done.
