 Not a big fan of the picture, but was getting late on Sunday and wanted to submit "something". Picture was taken after sunset and I could't get an exposure that I liked, so I took 3 different ones to try my hand at an HDR. I think I failed. I got way too much haloing and I don't know how to get rid of it. I tried to make the image not "flat" by dodging and burning. My first HDR and it sucks...don't have time to take anything else.

Anyway, PP includes
HDR
Brighten
Clarify
USM
High Pass sharpen
Burn, Burn some more, Burn a little bit more
Dodge just a bit
Burn again (lol)
Resize
USM

Looks like a mall. Take away those crosses and you have a building.

I feel teh parking lot in the photo kind of takes away from the feel of the shot.

Nice color. But overall I find the image uninteresting. It's just a photo of a church but nothing to draw me in or move me.
