  Taken on the laganside embankment, Belfast with the 5D. The same RAW image was procesed twice – once for the sky, and once for the rest of the image, and the 2 images were then blended together with a mask, creating an attempted High Dynamic Range (HDR) image.
  I am pleased with the appearance of the resulting image, but composition could have been improved – for instance I dont like the main lamppost covering the PWC building in the background, or where the little circular sign covers it as well.

  

  Comments welcome….

  The sign on the first lamp post is disturbing.
  If I could, I would go few steps left and put the building between the two lamp post.

  Not a lot of fans of HDR here though I must admit I love the results that can be obtained. Personally, composition aside, I think you’ve succeeded very well here and produced an incredibly crisp image with vivid colour and plenty of tonal range. I like it. Just go back with a hacksaw and remove the offending lamppost :)
