Christmas on Canal St. NOLA

[LSU]

Experimenting with this and not really sure what I'm going for, any comments or criticism? Btw, I know the sky is screwy in the first one, I think it's reflections that showed up.

I like them both. The first one is really cool.

Not the greatest fan of HDR in general (but love those that look like something out of a computer game effect).
The first one - I don't like the tram wires?? but the palm tree leaves and the building behind look really good.
2nd - The clocks really pops out, and the building looks great apart from the excess light reflecting on the lintel above the window next to it.

Just my own opinion of course & I really do appreciate how much work goes in to these compositions.;)

Very nice, if that was the Marshall Fields clock than you would really have something.

thanks for sharing, I like the 2nd one best but the first one is cool as well!
