Liverpool's finest

[dave.turley]

Hi,
Read some in depth tutotials (Trey Ratcliff) and attempted to get away from the garish, over processed look. Am I, in your opinion, heading in a direction that is pleasing on the eye? I know the whole thing is subjective, but I'd like a sort of straw poll on this. Is it 'overdone'?
Thanks
Dave

I think this looks really nice, its definitely not overdone, the processing seems just right. I think it would have had more impact if the composition was a little different. Say the camera was tilted a little more forward instead of upwards, so I can kind of see down the streets where that path that is sitting on the golden mean is going to lead me to. But good job overall, the HDR is great, defnitely does not have the extreme fake look to it. Looks like a real good image.

Thanks StephenJay. When I first got any sort of camera about March this year, this was among the first pictures I took. I, (hopefully) have a little better idea than I did then. Thanks for you comment. I appreciate all feedback.
