Second attempt at HDR

[quik28]

I'm trying to refine my HDR skills (which are currently quite low) and was wondering what people thought of this.. Any comments on how it could be improved etc are most welcome.

Thank you in anticipation!

Hello, what software are you using? I always bump up clarity++ in Lightroom after blending images.

I used photomatrix to blend the images, then did a little cleaning up in photoshop to get the sky looking better.

Not tried lightroom. I'm new to this so trying to work out what is best, and how to do it.

You can do the same in PS, Someone with a workflow in Ps may chime in here. But try adjusting curves, to loose the flat look.

ok, cheers, i'll have a play with it to see what i can do.

I've played a little with the curves.. Didn't want to lose the realism of the shot, but am annoyed that the tops of the buildings are now darkened a little.. need to learn photoshop better I think!
