This is the thing with HDR though Mike, it's mega detail creates all this extra interest ...
like marmite I think
I agree, there is almost to much to take in, the eye struggles to rest anywhere ...
for this sort of composition (which I do like) I think a lighter touch is required to make the shot fulfil it's potential!
still, that's just me, and I know a lot of people really like this sort of thing!!

I quite like this effect where you can push monochrome tones using HDR and tonemapping. I think Hamish is absolutely correct in that the image is a bit busy, but it is a busy scene and that is what Jared is trying to portray. I wonder if somehow a focal point could be created, maybe by slightly darkening the area around the image and then lighten the drums themselves as they seem to be a focus of interest. This may well draw the eye into the image more . Not to sure maybe it would work, would be interested in what guys think.
I would love to get out and take images of dereliction I think it is so interesting, but living in the UK it gets difficult with all the Health and Safety issues.
So many imaginary thoughts come to mind with this image the people, the history behind the scene and the stories this chapel could tell. Thanks for sharing

It has an almost smudged pencil feel to it do you think? I think in colour or straight BW it may not have worked so well. Interesting effect from the HDR style detail boost.
