Q: Is it just me, or has HDR been over-used and abused?
A: Do you know?

Canon 50D; Tamron 18-270; ISO 1600; 270mm; f22: 1/400th sec.
While on Safari our guide was looking for a particular lion pride when we noticed a storm on the horizon. African storms come up quickly and can be quite violent. As our guide was "buttoning up" the open air vehicle with canvas sides, I saw a lone impala cross the ridge line. We knew he was watching for lions too but stopped for just a moment to give us a good looking over and I got the shot.
I did not have time to change settings (things happen quickly in the bush) otherwise I would have opened the lens a bit and lowered the ISO

No way I wouldn't have changed those settings for anything.
This is an absolutely brilliant capture of Mother Nature laying down the law and reminding us just whos in charge.
I've seen some amazing,creative and outstanding images from artist I consider to be some of the best in the world during the 5+ years I've been a JPG member.
Butch without question this mind blowing piece of amazing work is in my opinion easily in the top 10 best photos JPG has to offer.
Again Outstanding work !!!
