Overall not bad!

The issues are most noticeable around the light, rim of the water, tree edges.

The halos jump out at me first, and then the inconsistencies with the lighting of the reflected statue and sky.

I'm curious to see the preblend pics!

Cheers,

Jeff

Thanks for the good observation. The halos did catch my eyes right away. Normally they are the results of over sharpening, that is not in this case. The prebends (I don't have here) did have that but by no means that bad.

Blends are much easier when there is a clear horizon without other things protruding. These days I use shadow recovery on single images most times.

Some HDR programs will render a halo free image from this type of image, SNS Pro being one. But I caught so much flack for doing HDR that I quit using it.

You get good points. HDR isn't my oyster either.
