Actually the original capture was posted in the Gallery a day or so ago but I really was not that happy with the result... with a little foresight and a lot of luck I had done a 5 shot sequence of 2 under and 2 over which I processed in Photomatix. I think the resulting image gives a little more impact to what I wanted the image to convey. Lesson learned, don't be so quick to post ! First pic is the original after the basic ACR tweaks and the second is the result of the 5 images SOOC and done in Photomatix with the " natural " look selected.

Certainly gives it more depth. Why is the roof ridge and shed side purple though? It looks that way in the original too, before HDR enhancement, but is lighter.
Looking again, there is a blue hue to the shadows - maybe you could knock that back a little?

Yes the replay has richer contrast but that may be achieved with simple saturation/contrast also.
Title well said.. all alone ... indeed what stories were in its walls...

This is a fascinating photo. I liked your HDR results. I read Dpullum's remark about "but that may be achieved with simple saturation/contrast," so I wanted to give it a try. I have to agree with him the results are pretty good, but different. HDR plays with color and one's results becomes personal preference.
Back to you picture I like it. My preference would be to reduce the blue in the upper left quadrant. Sky has an unnaturally strong blue cast for me. After the fix, if mine, it would be framed and mounted.đ

Thanks guys... I will work with the blue cast. This is a new area for me and I appreciate all the comments. I have a thick skin and will not be offended; leaning is what its all about. bob

I agree with Jim's comments about the blue. Nice image and nice treatment of it in HDR. So many people first starting on it overcook everything and leave weird artifacts in the sky-background interface. Yours looks close to natural. If a person didn't know it was HDR it's unlikely they would notice that's it's been manipulated. That's usually my goal when processing - to make it look great without making it look like I pushed the saturation and vibrancy or anything else. Subtle is what I go for. Others like the bold look. It's a matter of taste.

Youâll find the sky that blue out west...normally but not this week due to smoke.
I like the second better but believe you can get that result with one properly exposed RAW image processing: reduce luminosity and perhaps graduated filter for foreground. Maybe a few other steps.

Then it posted w/o edits. Hmmm.

Both are beautiful â I, however, prefer the lighter look of the original. To me, looks more daylight-natural.
