The Ghost of Bonnie Claire

What looks like a "soft" HDR creates a uniquely balanced tonal value range that unifies the many elements of this scene and keeps it from becoming "busy" and makes for a masterful composition.

I agree with Wayne. Usually I'm a bit leery of HDR but here it works very well. Love the view through the doorway.

Thanks for the kind comments. Interestingly enough this was the HDR in-camera preset. The resulting image is a JPEG at 300 ppi. All I did in post processing was to convert it to B&W and make a couple of selective burns. The preset actually lent itself quite well in compressing the dynamic range and rendering items that would have required a lot more time to bring detail out or tone down highlights from the RAW file.
