You were given advice by veteran photographers and you shoot it down. Do you really want constructive criticism? Or are you looking for some brown nosing compliments that would be extremely misguided? Whether you want to accept it or not, the whole image comes across as soft as others have mentioned. It was either out of focused or something happened during the HDR process which can typically have a softening affect anyway (usually not very noticeable like this). You blurred the water with a longer shutter speed, we get that. To prevent blur/softening of the scene as a whole, be sure that:

1. Everything is completely focused.

2. You used a tripod, the formula is only so capable of matching features or detecting movement.

3. Have VR set to off on your lens. I have noticed that with VR on, the features end up being off on one of the exposures.

You may be going for a "fine art" feel with it, which is fine, but I would recommend using the more natural settings in your HDR software to compare the two. You also may want to look into noise reduction and sharpening software (Topaz Labs is what I use).

Your comments to the others were very disrespectful and made you sound like your typical pansy-a$s teenager who grew up in this "you can't do anything wrong, you are good enough and everyone should praise you instead of encouraging improving yourself because that's just rude" society. Use it, improve yourself, or don't come around asking people for advice. In which case, good luck in life. If you can't handle constructive, helpful criticism designed to actually help you be the best you can be, then real life is really going to kick you in the teeth.

Your white balance does look a bit warm to me. Very slightly out of focus. But the water is blurred. There's an area of blown-out water where it's impacting a pool.

Next time. Try going earlier or when the light isn't as contrasting. It'll be darker but you can set a very slow shutter speed in potentially better lighting. You could also get a powerful 5-10 stop neutral density filter to make the scene appear darker to the camera sensor. Blurring water in sunlight usually doesn't work well. I've done it and overexposed it a few times.

You also need to compose your scene better. There needs to be an anchor or something complementary to the scene for the eye to rest on and explore the image from. Otherwise the eye is left wandering. The pallet is deterimental.

Looks like a combination of blurry plus out of focus pictures. Maybe it's partially a diffraction issue from using a very small aperture, but I think there's more to it than that. Maybe a problem when you combined the photos??? How do the single exposures look?

The color is a bit off as well. I think it would have been improved if it was a wider shot and didn't have the odd tilt. Since nothing is particularly sharp, I really don't know what I'm supposed to be looking at.

My eyes are mostly drawn to the pallet looking thing.

Your Photography Picture is so nice, Look like water natural picture.

Confusing. Fast and slow water in the same frame. Yes, the pallet is totally out of place.

Nice idea but poorly executed. To me the whole scene looks slightly blurry. The stream leads the eye into the frame well, but the old pallet detracts.

Would have been quite good, but too much manipulation.

I would crop it and make a better design.

the colours seem a bit too hot/warm, and dont soften the water, if the water is the focus of the picture then make sure its very very clear
