Very nice comps...the HDR treatment is over the top on these. I think if you kept this a little less garish they would look really nice.
Thanks for the input!

Hey Aaron,
These are some pretty wild shots of a cool place. They are pushed a bit too far for me, I prefer the photos to have a more realistic feel. So #5 is my favorite, as it's the one that looks most realistic. The others either have super saturated colors and/or shadows that are just black with no detail at all.
It's hard to imagine how #2 could be a 7 shot HDR. Even if one was doing HDR, it's hard to see where it would take more than 3 or 4 shots.
If you look at both #3 and 4, the peaks are blown out, but the reflection looks good. Same as the clouds in #4. The exposure should be evened out. Using an ND grad, or a simple layer mask is all that would be needed.
I am not sure why you would need Nik Color Efex on landscape shots. They should hopefully have enough color on themselves. If you were shooting portraits of people, then that's another story.

Thanks a lot for the feedback Jim, I really appreciate it! When I get some time I'll try some other edits toning back the processing a bit.
I'll lower the exposure on the peaks in 3 and 4 as well, I agree with you on that but I still want to emphasize the light hitting the peaks.
As far as #2, I just bracketed a bit more than was necessary but I don't think it detracts from the final shot.
