Down to the Dungeon [Contest Finalists June 2009]
Uploaded: June 30, 2009 10:18:12
For the 101 PG Artsy theme.
This is a HDR from 4 exposures.
After tone mapping I played with the sliders to give it the grungy look.
I made the HDR course with Tony Sweet and he is very fond of the groovy look.
I think it is fun for certain pictures. This is the Cesky Krumlov castle.
Exif: F Number: 8, ExposureTime: 100/333 seconds, ISO: 200, FocalLength: 24.00 mm, Model: PENTAX K10D

The effects and the subject go together perfectly here, Christine. I love the way the lines of the floor lead us into the image -- not sure I want to go around that corner :) Happy Theme Day #1148160Jane Holestine June 30, 2009
Wonderfully done, Christine! Before I read Nikki's comment, I was thinking "I wonder what is around that corner1" #7693546Susie Peek-Swint June 30, 2009
