This is the upper cloister, below this is the totally different

Please view the larger version.

Excellent, well exposed and but together, and you are right, it is better viewed in the large version.

Great mirror effect. It looks really good.

Perhaps that light blue of the sky is what does not convince me totally.

... you can feel the hot afternoon sun in the shot ... how welcoming the shade of the cloisters must have been. I am always astonished at your skill at putting together these complex images in HDR. These are the finest architectural shots (for my money and my taste) that I've seen on PN. You have my complete admiration.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Dennis, I have to disappoint you about the hot afternoon sun: this was the end of february and it was a mere 10 degrees (celsius, that is). The best time to visit though, as there were hardly any visitors. Happy as I am with this 'collage', it was only back home, while 'assembling' this when I noticed I failed to capture the upper parts of the cloister arches, which would have improved the composition.

Yes this is what HDR should be like. It is so often abused and misused. I am just beginning to experiment with it and it is not so easy to get a good result that doesn't just look downright phony. Very nice work and thanks for the presentation.
