Vertigo - HDR - not tonemapped

Pseudo (single exposure RAW) HDR

Really fitting title! It's interesting to look at, but it does make me feel nauseous.

For me, this is another one that would be improved by going B&W and a tighter crop. The big hunk of gray concrete isn't really doing anything for me. I'm thinking something like this?

I like the BW with increased contrast, but I'm not sure about the crop, it seems to have lost its "vertigo-ness", I think the two returns of the staircase are needed to make the effect work.
In the original version I don't like the handrail in the bottom RH corner - certainly a distraction.

My thing with the original crop was the bare concrete and the ugly dark blob on it. Maybe rusting metal, I'm not really sure. You're right. It does lose the "Vertigo" when the spiraling stairs is eliminated.

Shouldn't take more than 2 minutes to clone the whole thing out. And spot heal that big ugly mark on the concrete...

Cool shot either way though...

Nice edit Rick. I like both the crop and the B&W.

I'll agree with the BW however I prefer the non cropped version, keeps the vertigo feeling of it.

The colour is best but I would warm it up a little to reduce the overly white glare on the wooden steps.

To fix the plain concrete floor just give that area a little more contrast as the light cast on it is nice.

I reckon the colour shot and crop are best, but it could maybe do with a slight contrast boost
