Something I’ve been asking myself recently is “If I take the makeup off my photos are they still good?” So here’s one. This was it over 18 months ago. HDR processed to retain detail and then processed in Lightroom. This time though I did very little tweaking in Lightroom. Its still been HDR’d, mainly because I’m a picky and wanted to retain the detail in the stain glass window, but it hasn’t been caked in processing like the one from February 2009.

Its funny really. You can go back to the 2007 versions and they still look different. Still HDR but different processing. I don’t know if I’ll ever get the shot “right” as what’s “right” is constantly changing. For now I’m happy with this version.
