Is this alright. Look to unreal? How does the shadows look, should I dodge the front of the dock and the hill on the island? Ha ha..how should I take this photo to make it better..common people..help me out here..

Need some sleep! And more nice weather..I want to get out on the boat!!!

C'mon Kat ... next you'll be calling people 'peasants' ... like I do

I think ... No ... it's not over-done at all, No ... leave the dock as is because I like the shadow there ... it belongs, and Yes ... dodge the hill but only slightly ... it should still be shadowy.

Ha ha. I tell yah..I have to start reading what I type!!!!

Thanks MA!

This is the second HDR I got last night. It was taken about 30/45 mins before the first. This is the dock, the ice road is just above the dock. People live over on that island and at this time of year I don't know how they do it. I watched a family get into a canoe, paddle over to the start of the ice road and hop on their snowmobiles with canoes on tow. It was soo funny.

I can't wait to get back out there this summer. Even my HDR seems to have gotten better over the winter with all this reading! Or at least I like to think so!!!

Another lovely image, Kat!

Shot 1 is excellent. Aside from Ma's dodge hill suggestion, I wouldn't do a thing.

Shot 2 is also very nice but could use a wee bit more sharpening and some deeper blacks to make the image pop a bit harder.
Hope that helps
