I was traveling a few months ago with my girlfriend to Hershey, PA and stopped off at the PA capitol building to take a tour. Here is one of the shots I got from that tour. It’s a little different process I normally do. What do you guys think?

Nice.. i like it. What lens did you use? Sigma UWA?

 

[BroPhoto]

No, I used a Tokina 11-16mm

I would love to see the original. It looks like it could be an amazing shot, it's just a little over the top for me. (Everyone likes a different flavor.....)

Here are the three original shots I used.

Great job on the processing, most outstanding shot!

Yeah i agree it is an outstanding shot. Its like someone painted it into perfection. And wish i had a lens of my own like that

Great shot......just a bit over the top for me. But I can appreciate what the others like about it. Thanks for posting the originals!!

The processed shot brings out the shapes and angles of the scene in a way that's missing from the original. If that's what you were trying to do, you did it. The processing is totally appropriate for that goal. I like the original, as well, but in a different way.

nice shot. The processing works with the subject although would like to see a more toned down version

Nice shot; I'll have to agree with those commenting that you've pushed it too far though. I am from the school of thought that HDR should be used to increase the dynamic range captured to replicate what the human eye can see; rather than the over-the-top style where some shadows are lighter than what should be a highlight.
I think a reworked version with a more subtle HDR applied to it could be an awesome shot.

I like it

Here is the same shot of the Capitol Building only this is a more photo realistic version.
