Water Wheel at the Irvine Regional Park

I went with the family to the Irvine Regional Park and found a Water Wheel. I liked the composition and the leaves on the water with the greens on the wheel and rocks texture. It would be much have life if the water were falling down on the wheel (but for some reason they shut it down before I take the photo!). After getting it HDR'd as I'm crazy about HDR, below is the result.

HDR Photo for an old car and garage in LA

I was in grove shopping center and found this old car in a garage near farmer market. I liked the contrast in colors and immediately thought it is a good candidate for HDR photo. As I have Nikon D60 , I don't have auto bracketing , I had to take 5 exposures manually at F16 (as F16 or F22 provides best depth of field) in manual mode. below are two photos of the car from two different angles after getting them merged and processed in Photomatrix.
