Default Old Bar -HDR-

Hi there,
A few weeks back I went to a small town named San Miguel de Allende, a very historical place, incredible architecture and very nice people.

I took this picture and process it with Photomatix Pro and Photoshop CS4. I´m very glad in the way it ended but I would like to know what else do you modify, increase or decrease.

I´m very good taking feedback so please felt free.



Thanks in advance.

very colorful scene.....i like the thousand one paint colors those old towns have.....

overall your work looks good......but, there is an odd shadowing that's coming across the left side of the building......i don't know if it's a real time shadow or not.......but, i would suggest lifting it with a dodge tool and see what happens.....

I appreciate the rich colors of this photo. They indeed look lovely. However, the sky looks unnatural which is distracting me a bit. I also think that a little work on sharpening would make this photo look better.

Cheers!

Hi Peeper,
Thanks for your critique, I think I got it but must have to say, not happy with the end results... probably what I need is practice with dodge... you know.

But again, thanks for looking and for your feedback.

Hello Eric,
Got it... the main idea was to create something like that.
I´ll do the changes during the weekend and post the results.

Thanks for your feedback!
