thanks - but seriously I think it's over-done

Perhaps compared to what you saw? But I find it much more believable than many HDR photos that are published on the web. I also like the crop.

Colors must be spectacular in SA. My grandfather, who was an amateur painter always said "when I would use the colors of tree leaves in a painting, everyone would say 'those colors are not real'." And he was right.

Your grandfather was right. That is evident  in many paintings - where the artist often gave the person only 4 fingers - as 5 would look unreal and awkward.

I like that sky!
