This is a 4 shot HDR done in CS2 merge to hdr (the first time I have really used CS2 for this). Shots taken with the Sigma 70-300 apo dg macro lens at 70mm f16, shutter speeds between 1/20 - 1/1 sec. and iso 400.
I did desaturate and lighten the yellows but only just got round to processing (quickly) so might be off somewhat.....

Ken it's a good shot of the Cathedral but I think you could desaturate the yellows and also the reds a little more as it's looking very orange on my screen - I realise that others may see it differently and that you processed it quickly.

I have given it a tad less colour and also used a layer to darken down the top area of the sky and the lower area of the trees. The reason at least for the lower area is because of the low angle of the sun you would expect darker shadows on the trees and it also helps some weight to the image.

Hope this helps

The scene is appealing but the colors sure are not. I wouldn't know how to get it better as I am also trying to get to grips with HDR merging...

Looks like a shot that had a lot of shadow lightening done and now is very low in contrast. Please add a lot back in. :)
