feald of dreams

Two shots I took on a trip last summer of a cool old barn I ran into, I like the 2nd better but what do you think?

(edit) Ok I must have been drinking when I typed in the title it should read "Field of Dreams"

yeah the second one's definitely better, whats the go with the sky? what was the editing process to get it like that? just saturation/contrast adjustment?

Much too much HDR processing for my tastes.

thats one thing i dont get, isnt HDR supposed to be more what our eyes see naturally? either way the 2nd pic is swweeeeet.

The 2nd one I think looks great, except the sky. The sky just looks extremely artificial and out of place.

I actually like the first one better, I like the way everything is on the lean

I see shots like this as using artistic license so I don't expect them to represent reality, I just appreciate them as they are, but that's just my perspective

I think they are both great shots though.

I think these are way overdone. You can make them look a bit surreal without pushing them THIS far. The skies are funky

A rework of the second one could look really nice.

Thanks for the feed back every body and I was going for a heave HDR look with them, I know that alot of people don't the the HDR process and even more don't like to go as heave as I do. As for how it was made I took 3 shots one +2 stops one right one and one -2 stops then you overlay them and use the parts of each. there are many programs out there that will do it for you I like dynamic HDR myself....
