Holy Halo

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 14 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.

Despite the haloing caused by the HDR conversion, I still quite like the out come of this one; and I don't think it's a church, but the title suited, especially if I imagine it being followed by the word batman! :)

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Nice perspective Dave and the toning is great. I've noticed halos can appear on a normal photo without HDR conversion. On a recent trip to Scotland I noticed it around the mountains on some of my landscapes.

@Mike: Thanks Mike, halos generally annoy me, although sometimes they can add to the shot!

Very graphic detail, which works superbly well. A dark, almost gothic feeling. Superb

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom

Its got the true feeling of 'gothic' about it, maybe Count Vlad himself resides in the belltower.
