Description Standing above Cwm Idwal one get an amazing view right down the Ogwen Valley towards Bangor or even Anglesey. The sky that day was very dramatic and a bit of HDR processing brought out all the details in the clouds as well as the ground. Hope you like it xx

It's not over the top to the point of being garish. Just in a few little areas, in particular the greens of the valley floor.

CharmingPhotography In reply to infinityloop [2011-01-22 08:16:47 +0000 UTC]

I tried to keep the HDR subtle and just use it as a tool to bring out detail and sharpness of the landscape rather then as an effect. Hope it worked xx
