Here's the HDR again, but with the color toned down a bit. I think I like this version better, sometimes I go a little overboard on the color the first time around!
Wow, Rick. Nice job. I like this version better, too. It seems more "real" looking to me, if that makes sense. More subtle. Thanks for posting it and doing the new work.
I looked at your original shot you posted, and boy, does HDR make a difference! Amazing the details that are brought out. However, I like the original also. It has a "feeling" to it that looking in a tunnel gives you, and seeing the ethereal scene at the other side. (too much coffee, probably...)
Thanks,
Carroll
