Wonderful lines, Baber! Love the slow shutter water motion. You really have an eye for composition. Living in a wonderfully expressive architectural city like Dubai must help, too! [Say, speaking of water -- where's your watermark?]

The shot you see above is from Jumeirah beach and it is one of my favorite locations on the beach because of the vibrant colors you see on the rocks. Today’s post will be a comparison on HDR and manual blend mode. The image you see above is not HDRed but has been manually blended…

Andy's HDR Tutorial - February 28, 2011 - 02:19

I like the way the sea looks softer in the HDR image and the light on the rocks is slightly warmer.

You may be able to get more detail out of your images using something other than Photoshop. I’ve been using SNS-HDR lately, which I find gives particularly natural looking results with little effort.
