landscapes with fuji x

[MARRIEDGUY9]

Hi, I am playing around with HDR merging, XT-5, 16-80 at 16mm.  The first photo is bracketing in camera and the next photo was done merging three photos (three stops apart) using Capture One.  Both were edited using Capture One.  I thought the end results were both good; however, I thought the HDR merge in Capture One provided more DR, better color resolution.  I thought the in-camera merge was a little flat.  Agree?

Here is the photo using Capture One to merge three photos.  This is a grassy marsh near Bethany Beach Delaware.

I prefer the in-camera merge, more natural all round and more pleasing colours.

Last autumn I took a few shots with a fisheye lens at each location before wrapping it up. These landscape types came out well, I think. Anyone got tips on fisheye lens landscape motifs? (X-E4  with 7Artisans 7.5mm)

wanted to get someone's opinion........I took a photograph in poor lighting and I'm trying different editing techniques.  The first photograph is an underexposed jpg.  The second is an edited version of the same RAF file using Capture One.  The third one is an edited version of the same photograph, except it's a HDR merge of photographs with varying exposures.  Did I gain anything by using HDR or does the regular edited version look OK?  I thought they looked pretty similar.

@MARRIEDGUY9, Are you up for considering something entirely different?

This image you posted really makes me think of Ansel Adams zone system approach for black and white photos as well as for toned photos such as platinum toning. I believe this one would make an excellent toned image (uh, but not sepia) if you wanted to concentrate on bringing out shadow detail without destroying the brighter highlights.
