I think most of those are really good - but I have seen much better on here and other forums.
I really need to learn about this HDR business...
NO!!!!!!!!... don't turn to the dark side! I really need to learn about this HDR business...
Hmm, what will I do today 
- I know I'll make a photo for photo of the year, oh yes this one looks tripe 
, lets see what I can do with Photomatix 
, hmmm, still not quite right , what if I then run it through Photoshop and add some dramatic light coming through a crack in the clouds which didn't originally exist 
, hmm, still not quite right , maybe another run through photomatix will do the trick , ahh better, but not colourful enough , lets just turn all the knobs up to 11 
and try to get as much colour 
as baz did in his pics from Leuven

..and I like HDR
Todays pic (not my best admittedly) is HDR... but I was using it to try and get back to what I saw... not make up something that never existed.
I am entirely happy with either, (fantasy is fun) but for some computer generated car crashes to win landscape photos of the year from the BBC is astonishing. LOADS of photos from you lot are way better than that crop.
HDR from today. It isn't as dramatic as the winners, but I had what I was presented with. It is, I hope 'honest'.

And that shows how difficult it is to get a really good landscape - ie one that stands alone without needing ketchup, mayo and BBQ sauce. - I know I'll make a photo for photo of the year, oh yes this one looks tripe , lets see what I can do with Photomatix , hmmm, still not quite right , what if I then run it through Photoshop and add some dramatic light coming through a crack in the clouds which didn't originally exist , hmm, still not quite right , maybe another run through photomatix will do the trick , ahh better, but not colourful enough , lets just turn all the knobs up to 11 and try to get as much colour as baz did in his pics from Leuven In terms of pure quality, to me, the pic should be as sharp as a tack with good composition.
I cant abide all this HDR rubbish to be quite honest.
Whilst Ive not studied Landscapes heavily (yet), in my trawls through the web, Ive yet to see landscapes as good as those by our very own Mr Carter .
