Thank you all for the nice comments!

I thought this would go higher; I'm still impressed with the artistic quality of the image and thanks for the detailed info on the PP. I really want to see if I can replicate the technique. Your image is in the style of some great artists.

Mmmm... colours are a too washed for my taste, I'd increase contrast and/or saturation a bit to get more "pop".
But the pic is a nice example of a subject that calls for HDR, so finally will be in my TT, good luck!

These type of shots are nearly impossible with HDR, the inside outside look. Looks a little oversharpened to me, but otherwise very nice.

I'm new to the idea of HDR and did not enter an entry because I didn't have time to figure out the process. It looks like noise was a major problem in producing this shot. I love the framing and the subject you chose too. I hope you (and others) will post your original photos in the forum when the voting ends. You've got my vote. Good luck!

A beautiful scene handled very well. The balance of lighting is prefect the composition equally good. To very minor quibbles; firstly the interior looks like there is a little noise, and secondly the exterior looks a little over sharpened. To my eye of course. Neither of these small tings will prevent this being high in my favorites

Thanks Jade O. and LaRee
As simplified a bit:Used a tripod, focused to the interior, used F7.3, 1/2 - 1/125sec, took several pics and used three of them. PSP X2 HDR program, barrel distortion and perspective correction programs, cropped a bit, selected the interior, adjusted histogram, cloned off the fire extinguisher and distracting reflections of the lens shield, selected the exterior, histogram, deselected, used clarifying tool and usm, enhanced saturation, resized, sharpened.

Did your camera make an hdr in camera? You didn't list any post processing. I'm wondering how you got all that detail in the interior and not blow out outside the door without some type of pp. I like what you've achieved here. I would love to know more about how you did it.

My No. 2. The door, the light, the texture of the outside roof, floor, dirt, wall. A photographic style worthy of Ken Danby, Alex Colville, Christopher Pratt (if not quite so "pure" or sterile - ie. a little more cluttered). (A Small Sample:
