hello paulina
Welcome back to TE
At first glance I thought it was a sunrise rather than a sunset ! The sky is splendid and I like a lot the mid green of the grass. Usually I'm not very keen on HDR (IMHO I think it gives artefacts and to me it is very tricky to handle) but in the present case I feel that your picture is not "overdone"
best to you paulina

Superb sky Paulina and the clouds add to the whole scene. Well done.

Hello Paulina, and good to see you back on TE!
I think this HDR is rather successful, with the lighting seeming fairly natural - maybe the land is a little too light and maybe the saturation is a tiny bit too much, but overall I like the result, and especially the subject - two people meeting for a chat on a narrow winding track, which seems to lead to the heart of the sunset. The sky is beautiful, with those thin clouds making a real suggestion of summer and a fine day to come. Good work.
Regards,
Andrew

Cześć,
jestem przyzwyczajona do Darka i Mariusza HDRu i tu jakoś spokojnie jest,
Fajna kompozycja, płot wprowadzający do BG i świetne kolory zachodu, małe ludziki dodają życia,
Pozdrawiam, Gosia
