    Sorry, Paulo, but I don't like the sky in this shot. You might blend it so that the HDR picks up the details in the foreground and bldg, but does something a bit less drastic with the sky? I think the pink and the blown out white clouds draw the eye upwards and then makes one squint a bit.

    What a difference a decent sky makes. You seem to have darkend the foreground as well, makes a much more powerfull image. PCbermagui

    The 2nd shot is better.

    Did you use a tripod? I ask, because it appears like the images are not aligned perfectly, which causes it to be soft, then compensated with sharpening, which makes it look noisy. Just my opinion, and it could certainly be wrong. Keep shooting and posting. HDRs are a blast. :ivar

    hi, thanks for comments

    The diference (big) in the sky is was most of it due to my monitor (wrong calibration) when i saw it in crt it was more dark and no pink at all.
    After Jeff's comments i saw the photo in my laptop and eek7.gif, what a hell.
    So, i just redo it, this time in laptop.

    Yes, Dan i used a tripod as well as remote trigger, but it was a bit wind
    i guess i was that, or the mirror shake.

    Another thing, the clouds where moving fast, so..... thats another thing that could make the out of alignment.
    best regards
