First attempt at HDR for C+C

Thanks for any input. I tried to avoid the unnatural over done HDR. I hope I did it justice.

it's unnatural hdr and unnoticable hdr.

? I don't understand. Do you like or what? Is it really unnatural?

Looks pretty good to me and if you hadn't told me, I might have taken a bit of time to figure out that it was HDR. How many exposures? The other question that I often have when I see something like this - was it necessary to use HDR techniques to get the exposure that you have - probably was, but I am just asking because I am curious - sometimes, folks use HDR when a properly executed regular exposure would have done the trick. Also, it would be good to know where and what this is (graveyard of some sort, but is it a special graveyard?) as not everyone looking at this will recognize it.

Cheers,

A properly exposed version had some pretty harsh shadows, especially in the doorway of the mausoleum and behind the columns. I used 5 exposures to get the look I wanted. Thanks for the input.
