wowww astonishing , thank you for sharing this beautiful scenery
There is definitely some beautiful HDR art in here. Though I have seen thousands of lists on HDR in the last year.
These are absolutely beautiful, guys, great roundup. Thanks for sharing
I am only an amateur photographer although I love photography, which I consider in many cases a true artistic expression.
There’s a lot of technique here (which I absolutely do not hold…) but in my opinion… too much.
What I love when looking at a photo is perceiving the soul and feeling emotions. Maybe it’s a limit from me, but here I can feel none.
Nice post! Most are amazing however some go over the top and look sickly in my opinion (i.e. no. 4 and 6)
Very nice post on a Monday Morning, thanks for sharing.
Wouldn’t it be nice if people correctly did HDR and made it look like it was still a photograph instead of overdoing it and making it looks like complete crap? These are all horribly ugly save maybe 1 photo. I wish this stupid HDR fad would just go away.
breath taking to say the least – stunning, absolutely stunning
These are all very good. Personally, I’m more of a fan of subtle HDR. For example:

disgusting. sorry, have to say that. hdr yes, artistic yes, but ludicrous.
Love them! I have a bunch of HDR stuff myself and like Chris, I do prefer the slightly more subtle HDR. My latest is here: http://martinsoler.wordpress.com/2010/01/17/when-the-sun-sets/
Or try the HDR category to see them all: http://martinsoler.wordpress.com/category/hdr/
I like Goldengate Bridge and Autumn Park Alley images, all other seem to be over processed. As Chris, I prefer when HDR effect is subtle and unnoticable.
awesome photos thanks for posting… i have bookmarked it at http://www.webyam.com/
Great HDR round-up indeed.
The Golden Gate HDR is the best in this list.
i concur. the golden gate shot is the best i’ve seen in long time. I’m a professional photographer based out of san francisco with over 40 years experience i haven’t captured the golden gate bridge as well as it was done here
Nice pics Martin…those are definitely more the style of HDR I prefer.
all beautiful shoots…Thanks for sharing…
Beautiful? By that if you mean oversaturated poorly done HDRs, yea, sure. Only 4-5 of them make the grade. The rest look like they’ve been done by newbies jacking the sharpening, saturation and tone mapping to 11.
This isnot the HDR I like. It looks more like illustration than photo, and it’s too much.
I prefer the HDR technic of TreyRatcliff, http://www.stuckincustoms.com/
I’ve got a tripod now, I have to make my own hdr…
Excelente essas fotos
Fantastic collection!
Thats a nice collection of HDR photos.
Great HDR, thanks!
Some of these HDR pics can be set as desktop wallpapers and they are just blowing my mind everytime I turn on my computer. Even my dad loves to just sit in front of my PC looking at these gorgeous HDR images! Thanks!
These HDR are just so wonderful. I like many of them and emailed this page to my friends.
Spectacular photos!
Here you have three HDR of mine made in Prague, Czech Republic:

Mindblowing HDR round-up indeed. Waiting for more…
these are absolutely fentastic. keep it up.
Truly amazing HDR photos. Looking forward to more
This photos are truly amazing. HDR is the next big thing
These photos are absolutely terrible. Maybe 2 or 3 are true HDR, the rest are over saturated, over cooked crap!.
What is happening to photography as an art when people class this crap as good?.
really nice! I like Toshiro’s HDR photos of Japan too
