Fun with HDR

Found this old abandoned building in Beacon, NY. Light was extremely low, so I went with HDR. 5 exposures; -2, -1, 0, +1, +2. Thoughts please?

All right the grunge effect fits the subject very well. Well done

Well, first of all one can readily see the HDR was used.
I think the key to excellent HDR is to hide the obvious.

King, thanks for looking. I appreciate your comment. In my mind, HDR can be used to achieve different results. In some cases (like perhaps enhancing a high contrast landscape), yes, it should be used with a light touch and should not be that overt. In the case with my recent images, I was dealing with extremely low light throughout (with the exception of a very small amount of light coming through the ceiling). I was trying to display how it felt to walk into that room and see the graffiti on the wall, surrounded by broken glass. I felt the grunge look was the best way to go.

Also curious to see if anyone understands my "Butch or Sundance" reference! :)

I agree with you. I think the grunge effect works really well here. Nice job.

Yep I like this effect, although I would crop the top of the second photo to get rid of the white distracting rectangle and actually also crop a bit of the foreground, just my thoughts.

Thanks Alissa.
@ Pix, I see your point. I will do that when I get home and see if I like it that way. The foreground can definitely be reduced, but I like the idea of showing the only light source (even if it's a bit blown out).
