Actually, this shot is not an HDR, but I did like the angle of the foot bridge.
HDR does great w/ dark areas and made this dark bell come alive. I was not able to get this kind of clarity w/o HDR. I had to wait a while for all the tourist to be done ringing the bell.
The afternoon was a bit overcast, but it made it a bit more serene.
With HDR, I was able to get the shadows and the grooves of the Koolaus to appear.
I tried to get some new angles w/ the zoom lens instead of the wide angle lens.
This swan swam in front of me as if he wanted to be photographed.
HDR also worked great for the shady areas.
I've never noticed this walkway to the small pavillion before...
A real closeup of the small buddah made it look like it towers in comparison to the temple.

Nice sweeping bridge opening shot! All your HDRs came out great. I really like the bell and the last status shot. The PO-ed swan looks like he was out to get you. Good angle to make him look angry, he looks like a mad Daffy Duck. Also, how did you make your sky blue? All of mine blew out. Great job of shooting of the temple!
Wow, Shun Wah, the black swan shot is outstanding! I love the DOF, the orange beak in total focus against black feathers. And the reflective surface of the water to the left is so nice! The bokeh is beautiful. Jelloooooos!! Hahaha. I like take one shot exactly like that.
I also like your first shot, I almost feel like I want to continue up to the concrete road up the hill. Wow so much detail in the bell. Oooh talk about stink eye! Wow how low did you go for your buddah shot - wasn't that buddah just more than a foot tall? Very good shooting!!!
