St. Louis' Gateway Arch in an HDR image. It doesn't exactly look like what my eyes and brain usually register as a photograph. You might think it was a painting. If I came upon this with no knowledge of the context, just looking at an image, I would be unsure whether it was interesting or trite junk. What do you think?

WHAT'S NICE ABOUT WHERE I AM RIGHT NOW: it's quiet. I'm in my home office, my son's old bedroom. There's just the ostinato of air in the ducts and my fingers on the keyboard. No other demands on my attention. It's quiet.
TOMORROW: HDR in perspective.

bel effet, cela donne une sensation de film de fantastique.
nice effect, it gives a feeling of fantastic film.
It really is a very painterly image. Well done as usual!
The arch seems to be infinitely photographable. To my eye it looks like a professional photograph. I wouldn't have suspected it had been modified if you hadn't told us.
I love this. I hope you don't mind that I posted it (with attribution) over at clusterflock.org
Yes, I see what you mean about it looking like a painting, and I'm trying to figure out why. Maybe the light on th arch seems to be - not flat, exactly, but more uniform than in a regular photo. (?)
Enjoy your quietude.
Hmm. I really like the light on the foreground leg and the sky behind it. Something about the foreground trees make them look airbrushed or something though, in a not so good way. Perhaps the contrast between them and the sky, and especially the arch. Maybe a quirk of the HDR software or its use.
You've got super lighting on the arch today. Love the blush of color.
Great shot
