Default Caernarfon Castle, original and Hdr

This shot I have been meaning to take for a long while but the day I went the sky was very overcast not the shot I was looking for. So I have tried to HDR it and give a bit of mood to it, but now that I have HDR'rd it I am tending to think the Orignal is the better one.
Anyway hope you like them.

Caernarfon Hdr 1

Caernarfon Castle

Thanks for looking.

I like them both, but I think I like the HDR a little better. The colors pop! Just my 2 cents

The 1st one is definitely my favorite of the two - it's not too over done and looks great.

I think if you used photomatix and did the blend instead of hdr it would have what you are looking for but I prefer HDR toned down this is nice but you can adjust the settings so they are much more photo real

I like both shots but the HDR is a stronger image with the colors popping more. In many cases of HDR they tend to be over done but yours is perfectly done and very subtle.

I like them both, but I think if you hade something between the two, that would be a definite winner for me.

Howdy Try, I like them both buddy but, I'm with you. I think the original is a little bit better.
