great idea, love the feel of this one. Great DOF and detail. Good Luck

Nice, would have made a great HDR.

Thank you for providing the info on the memorial. Great lighting, but there is an odd "green aura" around the statue. Did you adjust the photo?

Looks like an Adventure calling you to come and play...I like it!

This really captures a nice "mood" of the building and its contents. Good job!

Great improvement, not just due to HDR but mainly because of the change of light. In the first image light was shallow, second image has much more depth.

yes, very nice work, one can tell that the season is a different one. I like the second image much better, great improvment.

Nice find!

Nice work

Beautiful depth and colors!

Lots of ground cover lost. Are you in a drought? Really nice color range, good photo.

Nice improvement -- nice restained use of HDR

Elegant subject, nice composition.

Just beautiful, nice improvement.

Good and proper looking! Nice image

excellent

Nice improvement, although I'd say it is oversaturated on the bright green - yellow part (which actually gives away it is an HDR shot). If you could lower the saturation a bit it would improve the image more IMHO (but that's my opinion, feel free to disagree )

Very dramatic improvement.

That bit of wall on the left is distracting, I'd crop it just a little more to minimize its emphasis. Otherwise, this is a nice shot!

Congrats, Author, great picture!

Like the shadow -- great composition

love the throat enclosure.. GOOD LUCK

very nice

Nice one... I've been looking for one of those leaves but couldn't find one

I love this. Beautiful angle and subject.

Great color and texture! Wishing it had sharper detail, but you can't have it all.

Call me when you get a bit older.- lol And Nator beat me to it.

Beautiful... as always!

Elegant!

hmph... doesn't look like it could fly to me!

Great use of light.

"FEED ME, Seymour!!!"

beautiful. i can imagine it in it's younger days.

no THAT looks haunted!

Scary leaf

Women, like wine, get better with age

That stuff is NASTY!!! Our neighbor had some in their backyard, near our yard. Somehow it mysteriously disappeared - some suspected about three years of consistent poisoning by someone.

very nicely chosen photograph with a good description

What a beautiful place...

Great shot ! ...... awesome Hi-res... love the DOF, and clarity.
