The hi-res really shows up some nice detail on the scaffold poles.

I agree Author.

great image -- sky is very nice as is the overall look and compsition.

Very nice shot Author, Love the composition with the foliage framing the statue and some fantastic clouds in the bg

I like the composition on this one

there doesn't seem to be much difference between the exposures in your SBS, are they 3 different exposures?

There is a difference... but very slight. Very hard to see the "HDR" effect with exposures so tight together.

There is a slight difference. seems like maybe 1/2 a stop each way. I bet if the author changed the exposure post to 1/2 a stop more on each of the outside brackets, that it would do the sky way more justice. Regardless, its still a very nice shot!
