 I have wanted to photograph this church for quite some time now. I judged this evening to be in the top ten of evenings. Perfect temperature, perfect light, perfect fun.

This is two separate images combined first in Photomatix, I don't use Photomatix that often, but it was a good starting point for this image. I then blended by hand different parts of the two images back to the HDR file. Spent a little time in CEP4 for contrast and white nuetralizer. No sharpening at all. The Canon 17mm TS/E lens is sharp enough!


Very surprised this ended with a ribbon. Thank you all who voted and commented!

Nice capture of a very modern church. The detail and sky really work for me. I think this is one of my top 3 images in this challenge!
