Default St. Mary's Church.

Famous for its crooked spire, this church is tricky to photograph, as I found out. It's surrounded by trees and other buildings so finding somewhere that will get all of it (from top to bottom) in a single frame isn't easy.

It's a three exposure HDR and a two image blend.

So interesting to see that crooked spire, and your HDR treatment is very good-just enough without being overdone.

I agree- its good to see some HDR that still looks natural!

And that spire is so trippy!

Great image and nice HDR work I think it is a little dark.
