The ruins of an old hydro generating house built in 1905 for Jefferson Mills (textiles). It's located in Watson Mill Bridge State Park near Comer, GA.

I actually like the over saturated HDR processing of this. Generally I'm not a fan, but I think it works here.

Great shot. Vivid colors and tons of details. Nice job.

I like the shot but the colors are a bit too saturated for my taste. Dialing saturation down could give a more "abandoned" look to the shot.

Thanks brucea. I am going to try some things with this image over the weekend. I am definitely going back through all the steps again and see where the image seems to gain so much saturation. I didn't adjust it much in Photoshop.

you might be able to crank it back in the HDR software. definitely can desaturate in photoshop or lightroom.

It's too overprocessed for my taste (tonemapping), but with HDR that's all about personal preference so my opinion is no better than anybody else's. However, compositionally, I find that large object, and especially the bright highlights on it, at lower-right very distracting. I find my eye constantly being attracted down there when the highlights of this image should be the brick, vines, shadows, colors and textures.

Beautiful variety of colors in my opinion!

I like the pic. HDR photography is great stuff. Very controversial with many people.
I am in the process of doing old barns in my county that I live in. They are turning very well. It is all about the way you want it to look.


I married the model, so I still pay for the shooting..:D

I like the saturated look. If you just want the normal look, merge the shots in CS3.

Yeah, I tried merging in CS2 and it was much less saturated, but CS2 had a lot of trouble with some moving branches on the left and moving water on the right. I got lots of dark blue artifacts that were just too much work to clone out. Photomatix gives much more saturated results and is my favorite right now. FDRTools is a bit hard to figure out and I haven't gotten very far with it yet.
