What do you think about this pictu
http://www.molon.de/galleries/Malays...img.php?pic=10

Photomatix Pro with five RAW images (0EV, +- 2EV, +-4EV);
"photographic" setting.

The water of the waterfall and the sky on top are very bright, while the
shadow areas in the trees are very dark.

I agree with you but my first reaction was to try to double the size
of the image. I think it would have a different impact then. Even so,
I would like to be able to see a little more deeply into the shadows
of the trees. I would also like to see more detail of the clouds and
sky but suspect there is none there to resolve.

Yup, I was looking for a "zoom" button as well.
Viewed larger it might have a completely different "feeling".
As is, those greens look like neon lights...

There is very little detail in the clouds.

Somehow I don't get the feeling of the depth and
atmosphere of the space. I think because it's slightly
blurred and too saturated. But I sure would like to
be there to spend a sunny afternoon sunning and
swimming.

IMHO it is indeed a badly processed image. I suspect that the burning of
the highlights, and lack of shadow detail, are the result of either
shooting in low quality JPEG, and/or bad processing. The over saturation
and over-saturation and high luminescence of the green, are clues to
poor processing.

Having said that, I agree it might be a good place to chill out for a while.

Ehhpp... this is an HDR done from five RAW images.

Ponds are safe to swim in Malaysia. There is for instance no
schistosomiasis (but there is in Africa).
