Yep, that's where we spent this afternoon. A nice town, actually. A bit dead, but I suppose this is due to the tropical temperatures.



I did some tweaking with Photomatix and the original pic. I may post some more, but it's getting late and this is the last day of my vacation. Tomorrow morning it's work again.

Beautiful scene G.

Great scene and the post processing is impressive. Its bordering on looking more like a painting.

I agree with Smarti - it has a dreamlike appearance to it.

I thought that was a photo of a painting ...wow incredible

I am not criticising, just asking. Is there a method of straightening the tower/spire selectively.
You know without altering all other bits around it.
Also it looks like a painting to me, but only in parts. Very clever.

I don't know of any easy method of straightening parts of the image, but I know what you mean...

The church tower looked somewhat slanted already in the original:



The perspective correction doesn't help matters either. Maybe I should have left it alone. This is after perspective correction:



It seems that the HDR and lighting tweaks somehow even strengthen the impression of the crooked building/ tower. Or maybe it is a lens distortion? Anyway thanks for asking.

I like it G. Nice processing.
