The Statue

Another test HDR shot using one of the presets in HDR Efex Pro.

After having a second look at this, I've made a couple of changes.
1. Fixed the perspective to try and get the pillars straight up and down
2. Made it an exact square crop.

That's really nice. It looks like an old Autochrome and not just in color alone, but in subject as well.

either of them. I like the whole tonal thing in this image. The distortion does not bother me one bit, I don't think it is all that noticeable, it is the whole atmosphere that really counts here ...

Thanks Barefoot and Matt. I had to look up Autochrome as I didn't know what it was.
