Feedback and improvement suggestions are greatly welcomed!

Regards,
Luis.

Nice shots. Something I really like about #1 . Great job.

Is there anyway to get details/darker colors of the mountains with this type of shot ? I have taken shots like these in Banff and I want to know if there is a way this can be done without ruining the details and exposure in the first half of the shot. Looks nice anyway but just wondering. Maybe a filter?

Hi Goldengloves

I recently saw this video on YT. Basically, the guy is trying to do something similar to what you ask by using an HDR

Now, I've tried to do that with this same pic #1 (since I took it on RAW), but I can't get the colors to look natural. I guess a more experienced photoshop user could get to job done, well, it's all about practice, practice, practice.
