i like it. the colors are very bold and vibrant! i think that it fits, seeing as india is a very colorful culture! although im not sure where this was taken but it seems to be an indian style building. its beautiful!

I think it's over processed. It lacks shadows and highlights. It's colorful yes but it lacks depth.

I like some HDR (which itself is an acquired taste) but I don't think it works because of the sky - it is a block of bright blue- and the contrast is quite strong (too strong, IMO) with the building. I'm trying to quantify what it is that makes me think "hmm.. I don't like it". I preferred images 4 and 10 on smugmug.

I kinda like it! It looks more 2D to me though, but its a very different HDR...a painting sorta thing. I feel one thing though, the over bright ares give that neonish feel which i personally didn't enjoy much, as i feel detail is lost there. May be you could tome down the saturation a bit....just maybe. Any how great effort!
Regards,
TG.
