When I walked into St. Mary Roman Catholic Church in High Hill, Texas yesterday to photograph one of the Painted Churches of Texas I was surprised to see this giant scaffolding in place for a restoration of the church's ceiling. I didn't get to take the shot of the ceiling I was there for but I found the scaffolding structure fascinating! I was reminded of restoration projects I have seen on television of some of the great Cathedrals in Europe.
Title: "Holy Restoration"
Camera / Lens: Canon 5D Mark II / Canon 24-105 L zoom
Post-processing: Photomatix Pro to combine three long exposure images taken from a tripod into one HDR (High Dynamic Range) image > Photoshop CS4 > Topaz Adjust plugin

Nice job framing the whole shot, and your post-processing with Photomatix was spot on. Well done.
Good detail and not overdone with the HDR effect. I could see you push it more here and still like it, but as a representation of what you saw this is probably closer to it. Good job.
Thanks Larry and Doug!
Doug - I subsequently "pushed it" a little futher by bumping up the contrast and I did think it was an improvement. I need to make sure I allways go to far and then pull back some.
Cheers!
