Seattle International District HDR...Help Wanted

[Nistelrooydude]

I was on a school field trip type thing to the Seattle ID (Chinatown) and I got a few shots there. Almost all were junk but I salvaged a few decent ones. This photo was one of those, and I ended up turning it into an HDR. I'm thinking of maybe putting it on my site, but what I want to hear from you guys is which one you like better, the Regular HDR or the Black and White HDR. Thanks,
Henry

The black and white is much better

B&W is better just my 2cents.

B&W

B&W for me too. The blue in the colour version is just too 'blue' for my liking. The B&W gives it that 'difficult to date' feel which I like with buildings.

how do you turn one photo into an HDR photo?

If you have the full version of Photomatix, you can open up a RAW image and it will automatically make a 3 stop range HDR. If you shoot JPEG or don't have Photomatix or whatever there are a bunch of good JPEG -> HDR tutorials out there. I know that TheReal7 has mentioned one ore two.
