You failed at the HDR.

I like 2 best.

 

ya i know, it came out like ass for some reason, no matter how i messed w/ it.

 

FYI I found out that i forgot to turn on "prevent ghosting" on photomatix...so i reran the hdr process..and edited in the new version into the original post. it looks better than the first assy version.

 

One and two seem to have a lot of noise. I like three and four and four the best.

 

oh wow that looks a whole lot better.
i like 4 the best now!!

 

I like one but do not like the noise. The hdr one takes care of the noise but its a bit dark. I do love the contrast in the hdr one.

Also, I would recommend a tighter crop.
Maybe something like this. Im am only a beginner but here is what I had in mind. I did this in less then 2 minutes.

 

I would have to say my vote is for #2 as well

 

the noise was from the fact that i forgot i still had the camera on auto iso, and it was snapping things at 400...which isnt bad, but its a bad base to start off with if youve got any fixing to do after the pic is taken.

thanks for the input guys.
