This is not a true HDR as it was done with the GIMP. I will probably try it with Photoshop when I get home.

to be honest it is a bit dark (underexsposed), the colors are kinda gross, it looks like a bad compression BUT other than that it has nice composition :)

IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: NOT FOUND | MIME changed to 'image/gif' | Redirected to error image by TINYPIC


cropped it, sharpened it, added some contrast and a bit of color balance.

The extremely dull colors (and subject matter) in the dirt and sky make the over-saturation in the cars just too much for my taste. Can you post a shot of the original?

I appreciate all the comments. I have heard from another person that it looks too dark. I guess I tend to lean towards the darker images. It is probably also oversaturated. Here is the original image with no edits.

I lightened the original posted image up some, does this look any better?

Excuse the jpeg artifacts (wouldn't be so bad starting with the full size image), but here's what I would do:

Thanks for sharing your attempt griptape. I am going to have to play with this more when I get home and see if I can't do something better than the ones I have posted here so far.
