Nice but needs a crop imo

I was thinking the same thing but I liked the blue sky in the shot. I'll wait for another opinion but thanks.

I agree with the crop but if you really want to keep the sky try taking a bit off both top & bottom

Better?

Nice take on the theme! GL!

Fascinating ... is it dew on a web? It is like the dew is floating in the air!

Yes, its a web and looks like a water splash

a lil out of focus but still an excellent shot! when i first saw it i thought you caught a splash of water

You didn't think this might have looked better in color?

The statue looks great, but the rest is quite noisy and sky has a strange colour.

Well it is my first attempt at HDR. The rest is supposed to be defocused and I like the way the color of the sky came out. Like I said it's HDR and my first attempt.

Not bad author, one of the biggest issues with HDR is the amount of noise you get but sometimes you can't help it. Also I've found that what camera your using can effect it a lot more than you'd think! How many shots did you use for this?

I used three shots and they were all shot in RAW, BTW. I purposely focused more on the statue , defocussing the background. This is probably why the background ended up noisy. I kind of like the noise myself. Seems to put more focus on the statue.
