I got it when she rejected my submit.
"Unless you want a sophisticated critique of your image, here you are:
The whole picture is blurry and not sharp enough for the following reasons:
The grass does not show any structure and looks washed out.
There's too much noise in the sky. Clouds are barely visible, but instead I see halos.
The ground does not show any structure either, although it is sandy. It looks rather muddy.
The road is too blurry and washed out too. The asphalt looks like a gray mud.
In addition to the cars, I can even see the stop sign, but that does not make a sharp image. Sharpness is characterized by many things that are missing here. When we find your picture blurry, it does not mean the gaussian one.
The entire image lacks contrast and colors. Probably the building should be the main subject, therefore you have centered it (which I find rather boring as picture composition), but it is not due to lack of color depth, contrast and sharpness. To the building around, I see a dark shadow on the sky (your definition of contrast), which looks very unnatural.
The neon green bag of tourist as well as the bright red colors on the right side do not harmonize with the whole picture.
I do not know what settings you have used, but a smaller aperture and a shorter exposure time would have done a better job.
The art of developing a good HDR is to shoot several images of good quality. You have probably shot a blurred image three times. Therefore it is absolutely no wonder that the result also fails. I do not know what kind of Cam you use, but the way you describe producing an HDR is foreign to me. Why do you change the camera setting during the shots? When you capture an exposure series, this happens automatically. The settings are taken BEFORE the shot and not DURING it. That avoids the period of time your have mentioned. Otherwise your tripod is useless.
For me this is nothing more than a snapshot. If 90 people of all 30 million users like your picture on DeviantART that must indeed say something.
Thank you Nela!
