I love the headlights as well, it makes it seem as if this was a snapshot and not a long exposure. I also love the angle!

Personally I think the headlights give the image more depth and intrigue. It reminds you that, while these stars are moving around overhead, life carries on down here.

the contrast is WAY to high. I rarely ever like HDR because of how tacky it looks and how over used it is. The detail of the room is enhanced by it, but the highlights int the window are blown out by the increase of contrast. You gain and loose detail in this photo. I applaud you for using true HDR , and I agree that it looks best on abandoned buildings, but the natural highlights in the photo due to direct sunlight are way over done due to the increased contrast form the HDR. If the photo was taken on a cloudy day the contrast wouldn't be a problem, but you need to play around with your curve

Is there a reason this is crooked? (super well done for the dragan effect) I'm just trying to figure out why the whole image was tilted by about 5-10 degrees (I can fix it quite easily by just tilting my head when viewing, just wondering why it was done) the sbs shows the original image is at the original angle.. GOOD LUCK

well, because I'm not an expert at the lighting/shadows/highlights of things it is really hard for me to say exactly what doesn't look right about this. As a whole, I thought that maybe there was too much ghosting but it isn't that because there isn't any that I can see in the HR. I'm thinking that maybe it might be that the highlights are too bright for *lowlights*? (who knows what you call them The dark and the light of the picture has too much difference, they are on too far of a spectrum. GRRRRR, I don't know how to explain it...sorry
