Nice composition and post processing. The HDR really enhances the shot to me.
Your light hand on the HDR switch makes it very difficult to see the HDR. Yea, right!
This is an outstanding use of HDR. You pushed it to the point where it looks like an illustration rather than a photo. I think an illustration shows-off the details in the structure better than a normal photo would.
Good job.
Realy nice Barry. I agree with what they guys said. It really shows of what I am pretty sure is the Italiante style of this home.
Love the color!
I really like it too. HDR/Lucis/Topaz always seem to make architecture come alive - at least for me. I've wanted to photograph this building for a while now. Nice job.
Thanks for the feedback Larry, Patrick, Brian and Steve!
I know if I post something all four of you like I have done a good job! :-)
Cheers!

Add me to the mix Barry. This is one of my favorites. Detail is excellent and I just love the overall look of this shot.
Awesome!

Thanks Doug!
That makes it five for five (but whose counting?) :-)
Cheers!
