Steps to Heaven...

Just before I joined the start of the Worldwide Photo Walk last weekend I took some shots with my Ultra Wide Angle lens at St Mary's Cathedral (something I had planned to do last time I was here - but it had started to rain back then).

The following is a HDR image taken at the main steps of St Mary's Cathedral and merged from three bracketed exposures at -2, 0 and +2EV.

I don't normally go for the surreal look (I tend to try an keep my HDR's more natural) but I punched the processing of this one and would be interested in what others think - too much, too little, ...

90 + Sigma 8-16mm @ 8mm, 1/60 sec at f/11, ISO 250

I actually don't mind this. A little bit of haloing but I love the sky & the sandstone colour
