Cornish stack and engine house, slightly the worse for wear.

I haven't posted here for quite a while but it seems the group is strong and healthy with some good stuff being posted.
Cornwall is an HDR paradise, put it on your bucket list. All down the coast there are ruins of old tin mines with many many stacks like these all just waiting for the HDR photographer. You could spend months there and hardly scratch the surface of what is available.
This is a bracket of three (-2,0,+2) processed fairly conservatively in Photomatix then into Photoshop. Strong denoising in the sky but only about 25% denoising on the rest so as not to lose detail. Topaz Detail on the building but not the sky to enhance large and medium details. Then a small amount of unsharp mask and a little brightening. Hope you like it. All feedback most welcome.

Those old tin mine buildings always seem to have a very distinctive shape - tall and thin. It would have been interesting to have seen a non-HDR zero exp. comp. shot for comparison.

Thanks Greymule. My problem is that I took so many pics of so many stacks I am spoilt for choice for which ones to work on. But I am glad you liked this one because it was actually the very first stack that I came across.

Very nice photo Peter. I also would like to see the 0 EV photo for comparison. This looks like it could have come SOOC. I also like your choice of post processing tools. Much the same as I use as well. Would love to take a tour of Cornwall one day.
