Victoria Memorial; (Please try to view Large)

This looks like a tough subject on a low contrast day. I don't know how to do it better (not try?) but the HDR is too obvious for me - esp. the halo around the building.

Jim Dockery has a made a valid observation here, the halo caused by the HDR processing is a bit obvious and off putting from what has the potential to be a fine image. There are a few ways this can be "fixed". One way is to choose a "natural" effect when tonemapping the image in "Photomatix" or other HDR software. The second way is to take one of the bracketed RAW files ( choose for the sky definition you want) process as normal, then use as a layer mask in photoshop on top of th HDR image, finally reveal the parts of the image you want by using the erasor tool, leaving you with a more natural looking sky but still retaining the HDR building.

The composition  and perspective is good and I love the architecture, it's a really great looking building and a fantastic photographic subject. There is of course some distortion too, but personally that doesn't bother me.

Best Regards

Nice shot...!!!

Interesting building and larger view shows details very well,especially in hdr,problem with halo is what is happened to me too some time and what Alf says is a very good idea,because this halo disturb the image,my best regards.

Beautiful work, Kaushik!

Very appealing place and beautiful engineering work done here, your lighting is also of very well skilled set up and so the details and tones are of very high quality.

Thank you my friend for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

I have no idea how to do HDR Kaushik, but the building is done very well from what I can see, fortunately Alf has the answer to the 'Halo effect'.  I read about it often but don't understand too much about it.  One great thing about PN...we always have friends more than willing to help.  I  hope his suggestion works for you.  I hope to try to get into HDR perhaps this summer.  I still feel you have done some very nice work and I'm sure much effort was put into this composition.  My kindest regards, Gail

Always great shots by you!

Beautiful shot and treatment

Cheers.

Superb H.D.R. | excellent light conditions and post production i wish i could do too like this....

Kaushik, cholbey na.
