Mark Aksoy	The stronger section of this image is the right two-thirds with its perfectly exposed row of colorful shop fronts plus ramp ending with the people grouped under the "Quilts" sign.  I would crop in from the left almost up to this sign.  This would eliminate blown-out details, telephone wires, plus empty sky, and make for a stronger image.
Cliff Banks	The HDR has brought out all of the details in the shadow areas well, but I am not sure if this is the best type of picture for the use of HDR as the result is very strong colors.
Bob Altman	I just don't think this shot works. The angle is good but the HDR is not that effective and the image is not clear. It's a nice travel shot for your memories.
Bob Barley	This was a good opportunity to use HDR. It might be interesting to merge just the 0 ev and - ev images to see if that would open the shadows a bit more. I might suggest that you reduce the blue saturation to make the asphalt a bit more gray. Darkening the bright sky and the sunny spots on the asphalt could minimize those distracting bright spots, and I think a little crop on the left edge could eliminate those bright buildings at that end of the street.

Margaret Boike	I marvel that you did such a nice job with HDR processing without using a tripod! The entire image is nice and sharp and the colors are great, too. The buildings seem to be leaning toward the street, and this could be corrected in post-processing. In Elements, I would first use the straighten tool in the center of the image to get the center building straight, vertically. Then, I would use Image>Transform>Perspective and drag the top of the photo out to the sides a bit.

Rich Krebs- Biography     I graduated from Grove City College a long time ago with a BS ME degree. I joined the Navy thru OCS and was assigned a ship in Norfolk, VA. After my tour there, I went to a ship homeported in Yokosuka, Japan. After PG school in Monterey, Vietnam and Washington tours, I got off of active duty and stayed in the Naval Reserve for another 20 years, retiring in 1991. After I got out of the Navy, I had positions with defense companies or the government in Annapolis, Md, Fort Meade, Md, Greenville, Tx, St. Louis and finally Colorado, where I retired from IBM in June 2006.  I was a Project Manager.      I have been taking pictures since college using a point and shoot film camera. I started taking photos with SLR's in the Navy when I went to Japan. I changed to digital in the 1990's and a DSLR last year. I take landscapes, animals, birds, travel photos. I have thousands of slides and prints from the Navy tours to Japan, Europe, Vietnam and our own travels. Now I am strictly digital and have quite a few pictures saved and online.
