I still see yellows and blues in this.

Fixed it.

Nicely framed, love the cobbles..

Simply beautiful

abstract and eye catching shot, it's very appealing, good job

WOW! Nice entry author! It's definitely a fav! GL!

just brilliant

Great image..

cool shot! Nice depth too!

cool...dance of the sparks...gl

excellent effort. what prog did you use for it, how many images, and what settings for them...... I am interested, as it is different to most of the entries here, in that it is sort of high key

looks like a regular b/w but brightened up and filtered through posterize in PS.

@ xsingthesorrowo............. be careful how you word your comments...... this could be construed as an accusation!

One color image converted to B/W and HDR toning. toning accented brigh sunlight and shadows from high noon lighting.

Although I thought HDR could also be created with one good image, I've submitted a new version that put three different exposures of the same black and white via PS HDR. I hope it's better.

what is the big 'smudge' above and left of the car

Just the sky that appeared that way when it went thru the HDR process. I didn't want to do any individual adjustment that's not allowed. Any suggestions.

@mod, apparently you don't review all comments then because I have been "accused" for things many of times then. Not to mention all the people crying and flagging because they don't want to lose.

Ade - I uploaded another attempt by revising the exposures of the three B/W's used in the HDR conversion. The smudge apparently was created from the darker exposed image. This was a beautiful photo and i thought this would be a good entry. I'm just trying.

I wasn't knocking your effort, just asking what it was. I am no hdr expert, in fact, I am not even really a fan, but I just like to ask these questions in order to find out what happens in the process, and how it is cured.....

I know your intent. You have always been one of the most positive and helpful members that make these contests work. I appreciate your comments.

IMO, just a little bright.

This would have been better without the car on the right, but otherwise it's a very nice picture.
