Schoolbus sunset

Where buses go for the summer holidays...

Still experimenting with HDR. This one is a composite of 5 photos. I did a couple others but was unhappy with the results:

This farmhouse sunset is pretty, but I can't get that halo away from the top of the tree and barn.

And this field & mailbox view shows the countryside really well, but it's giving me problems with the blandness of the colors which seem to be affected in HDR...

If anyone has answers to these problems, I'd love advice.

And just for fun, I added a fake HDR effect to this photo I took of Westminster Bridge and Big Ben...I think it worked out rather well...
