I love this. My HDR photos all look overprocessed. You have this mastered.

That's about as maxed-out as my software does, though I've found if a shot has a lot of light tones the max level just adds too much noise.

but a bit of a mixed bag!

The richness of the HDR gives this a wonderful light and texture - the slightly unreal quality seems entirely appropriate.

I thought this was an incredibly detailed pastel sketch when I first saw it. Amazing!

The area itself has a very odd feel to it, run down but proud
