    Default HDR Dome

    I'm not through with my St. Augustine images yet But I did go to Kanapaha Gardens today so I'll be through with them soon and moving on to garden shots. This was a 3 image HDR tone mapped in Photomatix Pro. Flagler College in St. Augustine used to be a grand hotel built by Henry Flagler. This is the dome in the foyer of the main campus building - the only room that you are allowed access to for photography (and only if you are an amateur).
    Thanks for looking. Comments and suggestions appreciated.

    It's a beautiful subject, and you framed it nicely. I wonder, though, if more exposures would've given less clipping of the highlights.

    Hi, Dennis, I went back to the Tiff and there isn't any clipping. I wonder if just the compression would have done it? I didn't do any sharpening, etc. - this was right out of Photomatix.

    The lighting is perfect, but what I really like is the dynamic perspective!

    This is a beautiful image, Cheryl. I think it needs a tiny CCW rotation and the smallest of crops on the LHS. Also, there are a few bright green marks in the image (something awful Photomatix did, I think) that I would clone out. I might also tone down the highlights just a little.

    Love the gold tones & details. The perspective is awesome focusing on the circles & curves in the ceiling. The small bright points of the lower center light is just a tiny bit distracting

    Cheryl, Great composition and well processed. Easy clean up for the green spots. I agree regarding some of the highlights but you did a great job with this one!
