Challenge: HDR III (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Nikon D90
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX 18-105 f/3.5-5.6 ED VR
Location: Lisbon, Portugal
Date: May 31, 2010
Galleries: History, High Dynamic Range (HDR)
Date Uploaded: Jun 1, 2010

 Composed of three shots, -2, 0, +2, and then worked on Photoshop.
I'm not sure what happened, but my Photomatix skills have gone down the drain, as I couldn't get it to work with these three images. So, I had to do it manually.
I opened all three images separately, then tweaked them a bit in Topaz Adjust, to bring out some details and colour saturation.

I then stacked all of them as separate layers and masked a bit of each, to get the best out of each.

Added vibrance and finished off with a USM.

I wasn't allowed to vote in this competition. I would have given it a 10. I would place it 3rd or 4th overall.

Nice shot. The lighting is subtle. The repetition of triangles gives a dynamic feeling to this composition.
