Surface of ice formed over a flowing creek. One is a HDR of three exposures, the other is a single exposure. Yes, that is dirt you see under the ice. How did that happen?
Readers: Can you tell which is the HDR? Please answer with a comment. Thank You

Looking at this on my phone and I am guessing that the second one is HDR. 🤔

Correct!!! I prefer the single exposure in this case, although I chose the HDR for the header. Thanks for your response, Pepper.

I just had to look up what HDR is. I do know I like the 1st photo better,

I agree. Thanks for responding, Lavinia. The second photograph is HDR. I am not sure the technique is of benefit in this situation.
