Saw this two car train above Cannery Row in Monterey, California. Since I'm new to photography, this was my first true HDR attempt. I've adjusted the saturation down a bit and raised the contrast a bit. Appreciate any and all comments about quality of photo.

Welcome! I think this is a great first picture. Only a small halo on the top at the coach. Some areas under the wagon a to dark with less details. A small noise in the air and i would add some more contrast on several surfaces like the wooden stairway.

Like the POV and colors. Not sure if you made 3 single hand held shoots or only one with generating the others on your PC. If only a single hand held i would change to tripod shooting with real exposures. This will enhance the dynamic range (dark and brig

Good POV, but the tone improved

I like it better than yesterday, can be improved according to the advice of other users. For example the area of the train wheels.

I'll add one to 8 for attitude. I have a cheap point and shoot which will performs OK for me but.. I found early a "good".. solid tripod & head is essential to multiple exposures as Dirk mentioned. Great POV and I love Monteray.

Thanks for the advice Dirk. I need to pay attention to the "little things" when processing a photo. Once I looked at what you indicated, I saw all the details I missed. Thanks again.

Dirk, My Canon 60D will take a max of 3 continuous shots and that's how I took this one. Didn't have my tripod with me but will consider that in the future.
