This is a great example of how HDR can be used to enhance the dynamic range of light in an image without making it look like a cartoon. Well done despite the comment on perspective.

In your second pic the buildings are leaning to the left.

Not taking anything away from your photo but I'm wondering why you would take a low dynamic range shot and run it through an high dynamic range program? It seems like a waste of time to me. I took your original and tweaked the lighting and curves in FastStone viewer and in 2 minutes came up with this. Please note the added detail in the fir trees on the left. I didn't play with perspective. I don't mean to step on your toes but am merely curious why you would spend so much time and effort with the HDR process when basic post processing does the same thing. Had this been an actual high dynamic range scene then by all means go for it.

You seem to have lost the punch that the OPs second (and third) pic has.

Agreed, but he did say craziness added in PS. All I did was to adjust the highs and lows and came out with a very acceptable photo. If I did the PS thing I could punch it out of this world. If you look at the op's fir trees on the left there is virtually no detail whereas my rendition shows it clearly. My exercise was not to duplicate the effect but merely show the total dynamic range using only the single photo.

Very nice use of HDR.

Hi big-guy
Attached is what HDR means. The "craziness" was, I think, some cloning to the sky on the right

How we relate to any final adjustment is truly subjective.
I chose HDR this image to grab drama from the clouds and adding a bit more contrast to the building on a late afternoon, overcast day where everything was evenly lit(somewhat flat).
Thank you for your commentary, I enjoyed seeing your alternative.

50% tonality thrown out the window and it still looks good.

Hi Rudolf - well - it just shows - you can't keep a good pic down.
My version was to show what full HDR can come up with - for good or bad!
