i like it cindy. almost looks like three panels. i like the inclusion of the old wood also. the only negative part for me is that it's right on. looks a bit flat that way. other than that, looks nice.

I like it too Cindy. I like the crop with some of the writing on the left missing. The lower left has a cut and paste look but then again I am judging from my HTC. I think it would look just as well with the lower part cropped, square format.

Nice find, but as much as I like all the paintings (graffiti) on the wall(s), I think it would be a stronger image if you cropped out the left 1/3rd or so of the image, as the bright colored "IC" interferes with the harmony of what I think is a really neat color scheme and outline on the right. Could also be a little sharper, and I think this is also fixable.

As you wish. . . 2/3 crop and square, Interesting suggestions. I have been having trouble with the wish to cut out the light at the bottom, this confirms it, but I might still be in denial.

The bright lower SIC rainbow square is a room beyond the one I am standing in which is lit by the sun, which happily, I can't move or do anything about. In fact this image was only in part about capturing the head bomb upper right, a more important part of this for me personally was balancing the exposure manually.

** [CLimbing up on what I know will be a tomatoey soap box for a small but directed rant.] I am learning to despise HDR as a cover "technique" for mediocrity. There are of course people who put in the time and do the HDR properly but at this point there are so many "auto" versions that it's become ubiquitous and pestulant. You should be able to do it in the camera (unless your camera is an iPhone). Short of that you're rescuing a lost cause - do it properly from the start!!! Dang!!! [Rant ended.]
