I decided to make two HDR versions of 3 bracketed shots of The Vltava River in Praha (Prague).
One version is with my tweakings using Photoshop, plus further editing in Lightroom. The other version is basically the automated HDR version I got using Lightroom, with only minor adjustments.

The Vltava river in Praha.
From Wikipedia:
The Vltava (IPA: /vəlˈtɑvə/; Czech pronunciation: [ˈvl̩tava]; German: Moldau, IPA: [ˈmɔldaʊ]) is the longest river within the Czech Republic, running southeast along the Bohemian Forest and then north across Bohemia, through Český Krumlov, České Budějovice and Prague, and finally merging with the Elbe at Mělník. It is commonly referred to as the Czech national river.

That’s almost annoyingly picturesque 😉
Yes, it is… Thanks Mara.
so beautiful- what an amazing building
Thank you. It’s a beautiful city. Lots of photos to be posted soon-ish.
Yes, the first shot leads.
Thanks, my edit wins. Yeah! 🙂
I agree with themofman – first one! 😉
Oh……
Speechless , again!!
Thanks, again. 🙂
Hi, Fab blog! I am still in the very early stages – 4 months old. Just making efforts to link in with fellow bloggers to improve our followers and get the word out there for us both. I would appreciate you having a peek at my blog, as I have published several posts. Feel free to like, comment, follow or just take a peek. Thank you 🙂
Thanks for the comment. I had a look and must admit that it’s not my type of blog.
No worries thank you for the honesty. Good luck for the future 🙂
The first one with your edits is definitely a wow. The golden hue against the dark blue sky and water is a winning combination.
Lovely description, thank you Joanne.
Gorgeous image enhanced by your edits. Great job.
Thanks a lot Jane.
Beautiful, both of them. I usually use Photomatix for my bracketed photos. If I don’t see you after my time off, (I think our holidays might overlap) have a great break, Max.
Enjoy the holidays Paula. You deserve holidays more than most people!
I don’t even know where to find the bracketing option on my camera lol 🙂
awesome results, Viking!!
You can do it manually too, it’s not difficult (but you’ll definitely need a tripod to do it manually).
I echo Alexandra’s thoughts
You are undoubtedly brilliant with a camera !!
Thank you, thank you. 🙂
I like that first one, mostly because I prefer the way the color turned out.
Yes, the first one is much better than the automated Lightroom version.
The first shot definitely leads
😀
well, I actually like both of them, but the first one is a bit…golder, so maybe more powerful in a colorful way
Woohoo! Thanks! 🙂
