these shootouts don't come with #'s anymore

Now your second shot is the way it should have been in the first place. The first one is pure sh!t by comparison. I dont know how to put it any nicer. Great depth of field in that.

No worries bynx I understand.... Not everything I do is appealing to everyone

Lol! you don't dance around it do you?

I think both have merits, #2 is much more appealing to me however.

Here is my go at it. I really like this pic. Not my version but the pic itself. I think it could have used one more overexposed shot to get some more detail in the shadow areas on the roof. But then again details arent necessary up there. The horizontal rafters have light on them and give some weight to the ceiling. The eye stays lower looking right down the walkway. The more I look at this the more I like it.

Here's mine out of photomatix, and after some adjustments in photoshop after.

Bynx, Did you use that Painterly Preset in photomatix?

Bynx · Jun 9, 2012

I think I used a percentage of it along with the first default preset.

I like my HDR like I like my steak, Well Done!!!

Bynx yours is nice and clean

compaq - I like yours as well. looks like you moved the sliders to find the detail in the ceiling. Two approaches and to great photos.

Compaq · Jun 10, 2012

Yeah, I wanted some detail. Looked like old wood, and that brick wall asked for it itself!

Bynx · Jun 10, 2012

Personally, I prefer the grungy look of Anders or Vips second postings. It suits the type of scene nicely. I just feel the ceiling could be a bit darker and neither of you guys got rid of that lens flare.
