Needed to get a shot of this property for a postcard announcing it's recent sale, and of course I find myself there at 12:00 in the afternoon.

Handheld - The trees are a little wacky, but it is going to be reduced to only 2 or 3 inches wide for print.

ACR -> Photomatix -> PhotoShop

I don't do HDR, but to me that doesn't look like HDR at all. To me it looks like an image that was brightend up.

A straightened properly exposed normal shot would have worked better I think. As it is, the grass is over and the door area is under.

It looks washed out.

I agree...

I agree... However, the original images had a blown out sky, or greatly underexposed shadows... I used the HDR technique to create something from nothing, in the constraints I had to work with...

Thanks for your input...

What was the ev set at? -2, 0, +2? Make sure you are shooting in av mode and add some black point.
