I don't expect this to do well due to a ridiculous attempt at handheld HDR at 1/30s. Stupid. But it's still my favorite photo of the month, so there you have it.
Three exposures for HDR, which I tried to keep in control. It was just the best way to preserve color on the bikes while getting the gloomy sky.
straighten, crop, levels, curves, saturate a bit to boost bike colors, 10% overlay, sharpen resize, sharpen, save for web
I really need to work on post processing. Seems like I take the same exact steps every time.

I just love Amsterdam. The place i was born. Nice processing. I actually have a shot taken from the bridge on the far side looking towards the spot you took your photo from. See it in my portfolio.
I love HDR so this is SOOOOOOOOOO cool to me.... love the semi-symmetry here.... if you didn't set up those bikes yourself then I am even more impressed.... really interesting and cool shot
