Processed to much?

[Gem]

I have been playing around with HDR and came up with this, I really like the way it looks but I would really appreciate opinions, is it to over processed?

ISO 160
Exposure 1/250sec
F-stop f/2.8

I'm typically not a fan of over saturated HDR photos, but this looks quite nice. I think I have a more positive reaction because the sky and exaggerated colors along the right wall and the center building gives it a look of a painting as opposed to a photo. If only the people weren't in it!! The people are waaaaaaaaaay too saturated. I wonder if there's a way you can take just a slightly saturated version and mask out everything but the individual people so they don't look so...well...neon. I think if you can tone down the people this can be something I can show hard core HDR haters and go "See?? See??? It can be nice!!"

Good job!

I like this one, as Tim said a lot of HDRs tend to be overdone but I like the pastel effect here.
For me though what makes this a good photo is the composition and lighting, it brings to mind ancient greece.
Obviously I haven't seen the originals but did it need to be made into a HDR? I normally go by the rule that if it's a nice original photo, then HDR isn't needed.

I agree with Tim, the people are too saturated, try to adjust that. And the whole building looks like it's tilted to the left, maybe rotating it CW a bit?

I think I would tone down the people and the green shrubs. Otherwise I like it.

Hey, I remember going there!

and yes, it's over done.

I like it, as far as being over done it's kind of about what you're going for. Sometimes it what you want and then (you said you like it) it's perfect.
