 This is an image I tried to process the day after visiting Skysong but failed terribly. I think I posted that nighttime HDR is REALLY hard. I stand by that, but thanks to Trey Ratcliff over at Stuck In Customs, I have learned a few tricks that really help. It has everything to do with merging one of your RAW images back into the mix in Photoshop. |

Artistically or is the link in not working?

It appears as a broken image, but if you right click on it, click "copy image location"/"copy image URL" then paste it into a new window/tab, it will work. Not sure why it shows as broken here, but it works in another window.
That said, I think I like the other one (which is photo of the month) better, but I still really like this one as well. I'm kind of a sucker for night shots (even though I'm terrible at them myself). I just love the colors and all that. Plus the structure is pretty fabulous. It kind of reminds me of a circus tent on speed... which is totally awesome.

Hmmm, that is odd. I will check into the link when I get home tonight. I have an idea of what is going wrong, but can't do anything with it at work.

As for the image, I agree, I like the other one a lot better. This one was made more for testing the things I have been learning over on Stuck In Customs.

I like it better when the ground is much darker.

Thanks Esperanza for that tip. I thought it was just a word on my screen. xD
Even though more of the image is exposed where you can see it more clearly in this version, I still prefer the one that was selected for the POTM. I just feel that all those dark areas really pop the colors out and give it a charming feeling, which this version looses because so much is exposed. In fact, I'd almost say this version feels a bit flat.
