I stopped and tried to record the beautiful sunrise on my way to work yesterday morning. It was all gray and wet this morning:(. Would you mind giving me your opinion on these 2 photos?

Thanks, Ron

    Beautiful colors. What's the difference between the two? Are you using HDR on the second one, or just different metering?

    Thanks, the second one is an HDR photo using 3 different exposures, blended in Photomatix and finished in CS3.

    I prefer the HDR shot for sure Ront, I like being able to see the lights as well as the darks and the photo just looks much more complete to me in #2. Well done - love the feel of peace surrounding the distant building as well.
