Well judging by how well I did in the first HDR challenge (I did not enter) I can only do better. This was done with a combination of PSElements 6.0 and PhotoMatix...BASIC...and not even the current one...I think. Anyway, in the unlikely event that I need editing steps, I have them all written down.

The glaring lights and oversaturation overwhelm. it's just too much of a good thing.

wow, this is intense. only one suggestion-the sky is obnoxiously blurry. i had to clean the sky up in my entry with some gaussian, id try that on the re-edit if you do one. other then that, very cool photo

Great shot. Like the simmetry. Nice lighting of the main small central building, contrasting with the clock building and the whole image.

Enough opinion already. I need advice. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. heheh
Nice exposure and colors, i could be a just a little bit rotated to the right and the sky looks a little grainy in my monitor. Nice shot.

Is that billboard on the far right reflecting a thought about how to approach this subject?

All green lights - nice that they line up like that! Warm color, very vibrant. Nice sense of energy.

Beautiful downtown Philadelphia. Gosh I miss it there. I think that's Market Street..I don't know really it's been a lot of years since I was there but I'd know Ben Franklin anywhere!!! Humm, this shot is so good I can smell the soft pretzels. Love seeing this and love the movement and color.
