    Thanks for the tips z06-jim. I'm very new to PP and I love some of the HDR shots I've seen, including yours. I'll have to give it a go soon. Thanks, and keep up the great work.

    The vignetting in the first shot is a bit harsh I think.
    The colour saturation in shot 2 is a bit too much.
    The last shot has a distracting cloud spot just above the peak of the house.
    Aside from those few things ... I wish I'd taken them!!!
    And welcome to Ph.ca!
    Thanks for suggestions guys...I'm new at Photoshop, still trying to learn the basics, so here is my novice attempt at correcting some of the things you listed.
    I cloned out the cloud spots and straightened/slightly cropped #1 & #2, and
    reduced the saturation in #2.
    Haven't figured out how to reduce vignetting just yet...
    There sure seems to be quite a learning curve involved with using Photoshop...
    Thanks again...Do these edited ones look any better?...

    Welcome to the forum and what a great start!
    These images are very striking and i like them all.
    My main nit would be the leaning quality of shot 1. IMO it should either lean big time like in shot 4, or be corrected.
    Still, even the way it currently is, it's making my eyes happy.
    Hope that helps - Marko

    Much better. I aggreed with the original comments that #1 needed to be straightened and the spot in the last one was distracting. Well done.

    Lovely!! I love architecture too! and you did a great job -- can't wait to see what a bit of practice brings you!

    question - are you following stuckincustoms on flickr? if not - he uses the same program and does some pretty wickedly cool things with hdr.
