I think it looks really cool. I might make one suggestion however. The HDR process has left a bit of a halo around the building and I think that you might benefit from masking the building and trying to reduce the halo with a bit of burning. Are you any good with photoshops pen tool for masking? The builings straight lines mean that it would be relatively easy.

I'm a total nubie at photography, so excuse this question if it seems quite obvious, but what is HDR? I have seen it mentioned a couple times, but have never quite understood what it is.
Thanks

Joey

What is HDR is HIgh Dynamic Range.

A digital camer is limited in how wide a brightness range it can capture. Most digital cameras run abot 8 -10 stops range. (From total black to total white).

HDR is the process where one takes several captures of the same thing some under exposed and some overexposed and possible one normally exposed. HDR software then combines these captures and compresses the images into a normal range that look like it has a wider range.

Have I totally confused you?

No, actually that helped quite a bit. I tried googling it, but all explanations were really long, and I quickly lost interest trying to figure it out. What kind of programs are HDR software?
