Critique Club feedback -
It is difficult to critique HDR images because I have a hard time telling what came from the camera and what came from the computer. so, ifsomeof these comments are way off base I apologize in advance.
Three things hold this image back and keep a wonderful subject from really catching the viewer's interest.
First, the tilt. While architectural shots are tough due to perspective warping, it is often best to make sure that prominent edges within the scene are level. here that would be the horizontal line about half way up the frame. Itwould also help to bring the crop down slightly to hide that bit of sky that creeps in and emphasizes another bit of tilt there.
Second, all the haloing and fringing. The purple fringing makes me think this is a lens quality issue from shooting such a high contrast scene, but it could also be from the HDR processing as I have seen it on other such shots. In either case, it is worth removing via history brush if the editing rules allow as they do in this case. Nothing screams 'photoshop' like haloing around the edges.
Finally, the ever present desire for sharpness in challenge entries. I think in a detail filled image like this, a desire for sharpness throughout the imageis both desirable and warranted.
Hopesome of that is helpful advice. Good luck! |

| Nice crisp shot, the cyan in the sky looks a bit oversaturated But I like the depth this has. |

Ah the old joke rises again . .
Two men standing in a field looking at the building,
First man says - Tintern Abbey . .
Second man says - 'Tis you know . .
And they say the old jokes are the best. |

| This is a lovely subject and well composed, there does seem to be a lot of noise in it though, did you use a very high iso?:) |

| Nice shot - Like the tones - Looks like a little too much USM - A point of interest could add some more impact to this. |
