 Back Alley located at Boat Quay Singapore.
This row of shop houses are part of Singapore's heritage and will be preserved.
I thought this would make an interesting shot showing the old vs. the new.
The new modern building belongs to OCBC Bank.

HDR of 5 shots. HDR'd using Photomatix and finally processed with CS3

I love the street scene. I hate the sky. Good enhancement of detail in the shadows. 7

Generally I don't personally like so much tone mapping, but given the "alley view" it really enhances the contrast between the grungy & crowded and the new skyscraper in open sky. Great shot.

AMAZING contrast here. Your subject is a little close to the building on the left and HDR is a bit overdone. But whatever floats your boat... 6

Too processed causing the sky to get gray plus it's not very interesting seeing someone take out the trash
