When in Rome

I ran a few single p&s shots for HDR processing and I think they turned out pretty good. This seems like a good option for p&s shots that are washed out.

When in Venezia One more that I did tone-mapping and then lightroom work on. Although there are slight halo's, I believe those could be removed in ps if really interested.

I like the first two. There is very good detail shown. For your third image, I think it just needs some color correction/white balance work done on the original. It looks looks a bit under exposed after the edit to me.

Maybe you could do something like this for the third shot.

Nice edit, thanks maybe I went just abit overboard with HDR after the first too turned out pretty well

I'm guessing these are eiher poorly done or not that interesting based on lack of comments. If poorly done, any opinions on how to make them work next time?

To tell you the truth, I REALLY liked the treatment on the first two. The others didn't do much for me at all. I've seen many people in this group say that someone "really made that look like 3D". I have never agreed with them. However, those first two seem to pop completely off the screen away from the BG behind them (to me anyway). I'm impressed!

I really like 1 and 2. Number 2 practically jumps out of the screen, well done
