Lincoln Memorial HDR tonemapped 2X

Jack'll do

Double tonemapping an HDR image ala Trey Ratcliff really emphasizes the otherwise subtle differences in colors/tones in an image. This is a 5 exposure HDR tonemapped twice with Photomatix Detail Enhancer.

For kicks, see what that looks like converted B&W.

I don't think the conversion works very well but you can take a look at it here

Oh i like it in black and white. I like the color too though. I do wish we could see a bit more of the writing over his head but overall I like it!

Stunning, Jack.....a terrific shot. I much prefer the color version.

Take care,

I think I prefer the color too. The B&W almost looks metallic. HDR photos converted to B&W shouldn't work, since the tone mapping often brings all the different parts of the photo to an even tonal level. But occasionally, it will work and look pretty cool.
