Lightbulb HDR Effect

Ok so I took this pick about 1 week ago just shooting with a friend and I was interested in the art work on the wall. I knew if I left this pic. as is, it wasn't going to be as interesting as doing it with an HDR effect. So my motivation was to make these colors POP. Hope you enjoy & please critique away!!

Here is the Original & the after...

Nikon D60
Nikkor 18-55mm
ISO 200
Focal Length 22 mm
Exposure -0.3 EV
Aperture f/7.1
No Flash



Graffiti HDR

I used the same picture and edited the exposures myself by adding and lowering it to the same pic. and saving it as 3 separate files. The actual over and under exposed ones were a little blurry from camera shake...(No tripod at the moment)

I like the effect, but to me it's underexposed and has a strong blue cast to it.

I agree with sk66 on the blue however, I love the way the tag it self came out!! Beautifully done.

Love the way the tags came out, the walls seem a bit rough. I can't help but wonder what how it would look with the overblown tags dropped into the original image
