Like the photo. Did you use some tone mapping on this photo?

Yeah, I tonemapped it. Halo around the building is a bit strong.

If I get round to it I'll post the fixed version.

Personally I would straigthen this one. The halo is there, but is not disturbing me.

Rense, it is straight. All buildings in SA are crooked.

(Sorry, bit of interstate rivalry).

I agree with Rense. Straighten it and it's a nice shot. I personally like the conversion. It has some meat to it and a solid foundation in the dark tones to build from.

Regards,

Peter

Regarding straightness, fair comment. Can somebody tell me where to learn how to do this? I have PT Lens. Will this do it. I usually just let it do the automatic correction. Is this enough? Can PT Lens do more or do I have to learn how to do it in CS3. Or is it literally just not 'straight' as in the horizon is crooked? In which case, I know how to do that in photoshop.

Peter, your avatar says you are in the Hague. Where are you from originally?

Really like this image, but I feel it is leaning to the left slightly.

Great B&W image

Don't know about PT Lens but, yep, looks like the horizon is crooked. CS3 can correct various types of lens distortion too.

I like the halo. It gives a rim light effect, separating that part of the building from the background.
