I don't shoot much HDR, and I know it is sometimes pretty cheesy, but I liked the way this turned out. There are a few things that are bugging me though, and I just want to hear what you experts think!

Oh my eyes! :) I like it. Like to see it with the yellow/orange toned down a touch. Increase the red and green a little. Not saying it will look better, just curious how it will look.

Maybe a little more clarity.

Very cool shot. I agree with Dan, would like to see it with the orange toned down a bit. Also, using the front edge of the roof/building, it looks like the image is slightly tilted left.

Thanks everybody, here is another try with some more clarity, leveling, upped the green saturation, and lowered the orange/yellow.

Good work. The building "pops" more with increased clarity.

Certainly is interesting. Might get picked up as album cover if there were a square composition.

I would have to agree with this 100%. I hope my HDRs someday look this stellar.

Thanks for the advice and compliments everybody. On my next edit, I have cloned out the power pole that seems to be rising from the dead in the center of the frame!

The one thing that bugs me the most about this is that the building goes just off the edge on the left side, and unfortunately, I don't have any room over there...Do you think that takes much away from the photo?

Thanks again, and always up for more C&C!

The only thing that bothers me is the BIG logo, right in the MIDDLE.
Other then that, exceptional ..bw!
