Hello
Attached is a pic of the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philly using 3 exposures.
Created the HDR using Aurora 19 and final Post in ON1.
People I've shown it have liked it, however to me it looks a little fake?
Can't put my finger on it.
Getting the detail on the Girders and bringing them out of the Shadows took some boost of a few areas.
Thoughts on what might be overdone?
Thanks
Jim

I like it. Grew up (debatable) in Philly and saw this scene many times, but this is the best.

I think it looks good but, maybe the details are a little washed out.
The best HDR's look like they're not HDR's. Nice work.

Jim, your work is excellent, but being you asked, yes it is just a tad overdone.

I think it's a great photo, enhanced or not. My only quibble, and it IS a quibble, is the buildings on the right horizon are not vertical. Might be addressable with PP lens adjustments or the straightening feature in PS. Great photo, this notwithstanding!

I have never seen this bridge. It is an amazing piece of engineering. I do definitely like this photograph. Would you mind a mild critique?
As for looking fake it doesn't. It does look as if it is leaning over and getting ready to topple.
May I suggest the use of a tilt-shift lens. It will correct for this type of parallax. It's mechanism does take some getting used to. Aside from the fact that these lenses are heavier than their counterparts, they tend to be more expensive. Try renting one for a short while to familiarize yourself with the tilting and shifting mechanism. You really can't hand hold this lens. You must use a tripod.
