About
The Royal Exhibition Building in Melbourne, Australia
The Shot
Standard 3 exposure shot (+2..0..-2 EV) with tripod using Sigma Lens 10-20mm lens
Photomatix
- Tonemapped generated HDR using detail enhancer option
Photoshop
- Added 1 layer effect of 'curves' to increase the contrast
- Added 1 layer effect mask of 'saturation' (yellows) to decrease the
tone of the building
- Added 1 layer effect mask of 'saturation' (blue & yellows) to
adjust the tone of the sky
- Added 1 layer effect mask of 'saturation' (greens) to lighten the
grass
- Blended a 0 EV single tonemapped hdr shot to correct the flag
movement
- Applied 'free transform' to correct any wide angle distortion
- Used 'unsharp mask' (as always) on the background layer

Wonderful light & shadows.
Especially like the prominent details of window arches & penetrating light from inside of building.
Have a happy Monday:)

This one looks great! Not just because of the clouds or light but mainly because of the angle you choosed and because this is such a wonderful perspective! Nice architecture too !!
No rush on the email Artie! I know you're swamped this time of the year.
