So, I've taken a lot of photos out that way the last few years. I wouldn't consider myself a landscape photographer, and post-processing is definitely a weak spot that I'd like to improve. I posted an image earlier on FB:
And a friend asked if he could mess with the raw image, and I said sure, not knowing he was going to just go the HDR route (while making three exposures from the same image), so after I saw his result, I did my own using Lightroom to create a +1 and -1 stop exposure and then used Photomatix to come up with:
I know it doesn't look cartoony HDRish, but it still seems a bit over-processed. Looking for opinions and also any good direction for post-processing (good tutorials/books/etc) would be awesome.
