This is a faux HDR using Topaz again. Hope I don't drive everyone crazy with all this, but it's a lot of fun.

All critique appreciated, including the good, bad and the ugly. :)

Yikes, Mike! What's all that "stuff" in the sky?

Interesting. I've never seen topaz create the "photomatix-like" halos. Even more interesting is that it's not even a high contrast area - black against dark blue.

You know how when you tweak it a little, it seems okay, and then a little more, and then a little more? And eventually you lose touch with reality?

That's what happened here.

Too much speckling throughout; is this noise? an artifact of the topaz filter?

Halos around the building; too dark; tilted to the right (or left if you're an uphill sort of person)...

Generally, I don't like it. It looks like a practice processing piece that went awry.
