well this is a very compelling reason to continue to give HDR more tries. This is a stunning photo. It really captures so much feeling and story. The light and the details make me want to keep staring.
Thanks everyone. Niki, I do as much as I can after using the processor, to make it not look overdone. I dislike the look of greatly overdone HDR as well. The point for me is just to increase the dynamic range.
Mary, The easiest way to explain HDR is... taking multiple exposures of the same image, bracketing the exposure so that each image is correctly exposed in different areas. You combine the images to get the most overall detail (dynamic range). This is how you can get detail in the setting sun, and the dark wood of the barn, which is totally in shadow. With the current dynamic range of one shot, you are not able to get close to the same amount of detail. You would either have a well exposed sunset, with everything else very dark, or you would have a well exposed foreground with a very bright (blown out) sky. Does that make sense?

I have always wanted to try HDR (but lack the equipment). This is lovely.

Absolutely gorgeous. Wow!
Love old barns and this is just a wonderful shot!
Love old barns and this shot is just beautiful!
I'm not a big fan of HDR (I think people tend to overdo it) but this is beautiful.

I don't know what HDR is (showing my ignorance), but this is gorgeous. The sun adds so much warmth and life.
i just googled HDR and still don't really get it, but this picture is gorgeous!
