On the way home this morning from the dentist the sun was just coming out from behind the clouds and trees to shine on to the church as a fog was moving in behind the church

12 bracketed shots processed through photomatix, stiched, shiftN for correction and photoshop for final edits

Very nice detail in the leaves - personally, I would add a bit of local contrast.

Awesome image, though I would agree to adding some contrast to the areas outside of the building.

Thanks, I did have the contrast bumped up, but felt it was too much, maybe I should of left it. One of those things, should I or shouldn't I.

Well in the end it all comes down to what you like most. Half the fun though is trying to figure that out.

It's a terrific shot but I also think it's a bit flat. Rather than adjust contrast, try a curves adjustment by pulling down at the center of the diagonal line that goes from absolute black to white. This way, you don't have to worry about clipping blacks or blowing out the whites. This will give your image a lot more depth and add richness to the fall colors.

Nice composition and beautiful fall colors. I agree on the image being a tad flat, but that's the judgement call of processing to taste. It's certainly not overly flat and purists might prefer the photo the way you've presented it. Nice job.

I would print this. Do navydoc's adjustment with the luminance. Also, pull the green channel down and the blue channel up a little from the same point in the curve. Crop 5:4 with the church on the right and rotate slightly clockwise.
