Description REPOSTED
You can find the first version Here

This was captured from a helicopter tour in Kauai, Hawaii.
During the tour we saw hundreds of gorgeous waterfalls.

Post Processing:
45% HDR blended with original exposure.
Dodge/Burn, Curves, Levels, Selective Color, and Sharpening.

I get many questions asking this:
"How could you do 5 exposures from a moving helicopter?!?!"
This was developed from a SINGLE RAW file. I selected 5 exposures in Photoshop.

Questions, Comments & Favs are greatly appreciated.

I've always wondered how to do HDR but I don't know if my camera can do RAW settings

It's just a point and shoot - a kodak easyshare. I've looked all over the menus and there doesn't seem to be anything more in depth than file size output

This looks a little oversaturated to me. I think this coul be magnificent with some more classical processing rather than HDR.

I just noticed that after you pointed it out.
I re-posted this image and lowered the saturation.
I really appreciate all your critique Alex. It helps.

No problem, it's a learning process for both of us. Critiquing other peoples images helps me to decide what I like and what works well. The new version looks much better
