- U-turn - Per Erik Sviland
- such a great building - I love standing at it's base and looking up. - dai oni
City, Aglow
After some refining. HDR shot of Tokyo from the Metro Building. I didn't want to have the "overboard" HDR effect, but more of a subtle enhancement; something that makes you pause and ponder.
***UPDATE 9/19/2007: I replaced the original shot with one that I think is much better, in between the original darker one and the lighter one, I think this is a lot clearer! I did some more fine-tuning and tweaking (especially with the color profile!)

Thanks so much Nate and Yuri. For some reason, the colors come out muted/darker when I uploaded them...

this is a stunning shot, but to my eyes this one is a little too dark, and the other is a little too light. I think I would blend the two to see what happens
William Said (57 months ago | reply)
@PauloVincente, Nook29, Shaz UK: Thank you all very much for the invites!
@Alex Verweij: Thank you for the compliment, and I must say, your photos are outstanding as well!
@Cap'n Surly: I felt the same way myself on both of the shots. I processed those on my old laptop, and the exposure was off because of the laptop screen. I just bought a new computer with a fantastic S-IPS monitor a month ago, so I am going to go back and re-process to lighten it up a bit. Let me know what you think when its re-posted

great blend of the green-space lighting with the darkness and hard edges of the rest of the shot - melange of wood and steel - very nice!
