Wow, great shot! The only thing I would say is that I think there is a little to much grass in the frame. It is really pretty though!

May 28, 2014 at 4:01 pm #6113Ezra MorleyModeratorI’d say the second crop is better. It shows the rest of the wall that was cropped off in the first version.
It may just be my computer monitor, but to me, the picture looks a bit over-processed. I’d be curious to know, did you manually process this in Lightroom, or did you use a preset? I have found a few free presets for Lightroom that I like, but they often overdo the saturation, sharpening, contrast, and so on, so I usually edit them a little to make them more to my taste.

This shot looks more like a painting than it does a photograph. Though you’ve done an excellent job of eliminating halos around the edges of the building against the sky, the HDR effect is much to strong for my liking. The saturated color of the roof and unnatural green color of the trees is not appealing to me.
I like to use the extreme side of HDR more when stone or wood fill the primary portion of the image frame and where I won’t get unnatural “after affects”. Stone looks especially cool in my opinion. There’s just not enough of it in this image to make it work.
