Default White Tower

Took this picture last weekend while I was visiting a friend in London. This is the White Tower in the London Tower complex. I applied some light single raw file HDR post-processing on it.

White Tower
EXIF was removed somewhere during the HDR process so:
1/320
f5
ISO: 100
Mode: Aperture Priority -1.0ev


What do you think?

I think it look good. The tiny bit of building poking out on the lower right kind of bugs me.

I think a darker version would be deadly.

Menacing! Love it! This is a case where HDR has really enhanced the photo, but without sacrificing the realism--so to most viewers your editing can go virtually unnoticed. I love HDR (even when it doesn't look 'real'), but here you've really applied it well! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the comments!
I removed the distracting building and made the picture a wee bit darker.
