How do you like your landscapes?

With burnt in skies
10509

With dodged buildings and burn in skies and ocean
10510

Or as full on overcooked HDR's
10511

Personally I most like the last HDR version - but I wouldn't want a wall full of them :)

personally I would prefer a combination of the first 2 images. Strong dramatic sky and a lighter foreground.
I do this quite regularly in Nik colorefex with the graduated ND filter

full on HDR's are a fave of mine as well, but I think they don't look as good on skies and water as they do on
man made types of things.

Well I like clouds looking a natural way .. yes ok a bit of help sometimes but otherwise meet in the middle somewhere ..

Never been a fan of HDR myself.....so I really like the moodiness of number one.

#1 is my preference, love the colour of the clouds and the water, maybe a tad lighter on the buildings but I do like this one. #2 is too light for my taste and #3 compared with #1 there is no contest.

Thanks all, I can see what you're getting at.
