 Yes, it really is that green.

HDR from 6 shots (-2, -1, 0, 0, +1, +2)

I changed my workflow a bit for this one and I think it worked out. I used CS4 to convert from RAW to get rid of the chromatic aberration with the fisheye. I then combined using Artizen, tonemapped in Photomatix, then edited in CS4. I could have combined in Photomatix but I think there's a lot of low level noise in Photomatix compared to Artizen. Artizen doesn't remove aberration and the last couple of updates have white balance issues, it seems to not pickup the custom setting and gives the exr file a cast.

So besides all that...

Wow, that is one crazy lime green church. The colors of this are really unreal. The fisheye effect is pretty neat though, it really draws you into things.

I have seen several similar types of images in this challenge so far. However I have to say this one is more true photograph then some of the others. Yet it still is just middle of the road for me. After seeing so many of these types of images, no matter the location, the center composition mirrored sides just do not hold the WoW factor or PoP for me. Sure the image is clear, blanced, maybe too much light but its nice just not exciting.

Those are some interesting colors for a church. Neat what the fisheye lens can do.
