Thanks to Dave for the title. Yes it is tonemapped, some people love it some folk hate it but here it is, I have tried to keep away from HDR and learn more 'traditional' styles of editing but have decided that I personally enjoy working with HDR and so shall stick with it. This image has been brutally thrashed with photomatix plug-in because I needed a BIG HIT of it LOL. the future shots will be more calm I assure you. Anyway, here it is, I love it, It's our local church as seen across the river with the new fountain.

Love the processing on this one! I love HDR processing but my PS is too old to do it."future shots will be more calm I assure you" dont do that! make the "shock" factor work for you like you did here...its wonderful!

I don't even know what to write about this - it's so GREAT! I just wish the pole wasn't there on the right, but that's not your fault. 10

Great shot. I love the way you've brought out the colour but left a dark gothic feel about it, perfect for the church. One of those photos that could feel over processed but doesn't, despite the HDR feel. Great shot - passes the 'I'd hang this on my wall' test :)
Funny, from the thumb, the water fountain looks like a woman in a white gown. Hmmm - maybe it's a poltergeist. ;~D Good luck, Mate!!!! It's a stunning shot. The editing and comp - SPOT ON.
