I like the cropped version best, but they are both great.

Reminds me of a timeline.
It start with a Tree, graduates to a hut then the house with chimny's etc.
The size of each also fits.
And the rail road compliments that very theory.
I love this. Brilliant.

Very awesome HDR mate i like it alot very nice foreground. The sky is too flat (contrast wise) because of the whole everytime anyone has sky in HDRs they look wierd but besides that its awesome

May I enquire as to your HDR methods? Manual or automated? I have been tampering with a few shots but have been far from please with my results. Perhaps I just suck.
Seems to be a slight solarisation. Interesting.. I didnt think that was possible from HDR.
Awesome job none the less my friend.

Well I use Photomatix which is automated but then you have a range of adjustments that make the image ready for final adjustment in PS. I have just learnt that photomatix can automatically generate a HDR from one tiff as long as you have saved it in 16 bit MODE in photoshop.
So whats your method?
Thanx for the comment BTW

Interesting...
I have heard alot of people speak about photomatrix but I'm not sure if there is a Mac version. I'm still looking into it.
I have used Photoshop's automated generation, and have dabbled with doing them manually. I think if you google "manual DRI" you should be able to find a tutorial on the procedure.
No worries. Thanks for sharing your secrets.

Excellent work - I like the slight fisheye effect on the picture, and your timing is about as good as it can get!
Wonderful stuff as usual!

I think the curve of the rails accentuates the 10mm lens distortion.
Thanx for the comments

That and the edges of the building, I would say. They seem almost pyramidal - wide base, narrower at the roofline...

Some people are clever enough to use Free Transform to straighten such things.... i learn to live with it

*chuckle* Don't knock your cleverness. You ARE clever! (Not that I'm telling you anything you don't already know)

Are you really happy with the detail less grey sky top right?
J
π: 0 β©: 1
Don't bother me much.. It twas fairly grey amorphous sky... the dark grey is actually a hole thru to blue....maybe I need to revisit and see if anything can be altered. That would make me 101% happy wouldn't it!

I love this sky.

I'll bet you have some interesting train stations over there.. hey I'd like to do this again with a german backpacker leaning against the platform.. but I don't have a model!

Ah, you'll find one. They are like an epidemic in Australia

Love the station and the track, and the composition. I'd have preferred a more naturalistic sky, though

Any sugestions welcome... I may try version 2 but I like the drama!
