      Beautifully exposed and composed.

      Stunning, but at the larger size, the water became distracting. I agree that the exposure is great.

      i cant appreciate or criticize this photo for the heck of it. i look at it and try to understand the idea behind it, and also your limitaions while trying to cover what you wanted. the photo lacks an overall appeal. what catches my attention the most is the silhouette of people behind the sprays, and i must give you marks for that. the over balance is uuuuuummmm ...... fine, but take at look at the bottom right and the bottom left corners, what do you see ? (yes you should have gone a bit to the right). now move on to the details on the building itself. i like what i see. i'd have prefered a rather slower shutter speed. why ? the most displeasing part is the diffusion of sunset colors into gray (top right & top left) and also the water spray is a bit too forozen and not as silky (pleasing) as it should have been. personnaly i have deliberately chopped of the top of towers / tombs to cover something else in my photos, to see what'd happen. but dont make a habit out of it, cuz it does 'not' create any good impact . but i need to give you points for experimentation.

      Great shot, but imho you need to do something about the halo.

      @alive in calgary - The halo is actually more a result of the sun directly behind the building than the HDR process. It appeared on the original shots.

      I guess I could see that. It dose look
      like front lighting though, must be a hdr effect of backlighting(Score 8/10 from the Score Me HDR group) revised

      Beautiful...

    20. sight7 (74 months ago | reply)

      Very beautifully! HDR with water, very much inspiring! in the larger dissolution the water becomes effective well. Me to wish the roof would see full. To me well it could present in another angle still more plastic with the sky works. Do you have to moderate for a color filter for the building to meant that blue?

      I personally really like this shot. My only problem with it is that I'd like to see the entire dome.

      I don't mind the halo - (which is accentuated by HDR process, if not entirely made by it)

      This is a reasonable HDR treatment, although another exposure in there might made the subject stand out even more. It's a nicely framed job, and has a certain symetry I find appealing. well done.

    28. Findo (74 months ago | reply)

      I wouldn't mind the halo if the darker part of it were a nice colour as part of the sky - the greyness doesn't really help.
      Also, a slight crop on the left will balance it properly.
