Christmas in the Summer

I finally got through editing some of my backlog... as you can see from this Christmas shot taken at the Driskill in Austin. I thought it was so cool, I just had to upload it today.. even though Christmas seems a bit far away! :)

Nice photo. It's a grand old hotel. I've stayed in it a few times. I worked just 2 blocks away.

This came out beautifully! I saw the other one of this series you had posted (way back near..let's see...oh! Christmas :D ) and...I really appreciate this one particularly. I like the additional 'lights' shown here..its so soft and surreal. Yet, the skylight..remains detailed. great shot...thanks for the 'reminder' (only 7 more months...)

This is very nice! HDR does a great job of taking the talent you have for 'seeing' great pictures and helping bring them to the world!
Way to go!
