My first thoughts are why didn't I remove that spot. I think it is from a water spot. Also I'm not liking the halo around the building.

i was torn between realistic pp and surealistic pp. I think I mixed them together a bit.​

LOVE the B&W. the only thing I would sagest would be to ether crop out or photoshop out the signs and lamp post at the bottom they distract from the image.

I'll give it a shot tonight. I was up till 3am last night watching youtube videos on HDR and Bracketing. I really want to go more towards the realistic route.

I will agree with that 100% about the signs. I was trying to do that last night with another photo. I'll have to youtube it tonight. Just downloaded the trial of CS5 a few days back so i'm pretty clueless.

Also i'm not sure if it's my work monitor but it seems to dark, and not showing enough detail in the dark areas. Also there are still some blown out areas.

I believe I'm hooked on bracketing!

Nice! That does help alot. I have no problem with people editing anything I post. It will only help me get better.

You have a pretty significant halo going on around the building...can't believe no one brought it up yet.

I did in the original post. I usually don't like them either, but when I look at this version It almost looks backlit.

Also, honestly, I had no clue what I was doing here. Just fiddling with the sliders. I've been doing some research on getting more realistic hdr's which is what I like most.
