Which to choose
I have got around at last to thinking about producing this year's Christmas Cards and as usual finding it difficult to make a choice.
I decided on an interior shot of All Saints Church by Marlow Bridge on the River Thames. I have selected one shot of which I have two edited versions : -
1) HDR
2)HDR Soft
Can you help me by saying which shot you prefer. Thanks in advance.
HDR
HDR Soft

Re: Which to choose
#2 for me - I think the colours come together a bit better than the first.

Re: Which to choose
Hi,
Being an architecture shot I think the sharpness is important

Re: Which to choose
I like the sharpness and detail of the first and the vibrancy of the second.
Somewhere in between the two might be the ideal.

Re: Which to choose
Hi Christopher,
both versions look good.
But as times ticking and Christmas is getting nearer, in my opinion #2 is the winner.

Re: Which to choose
How about HDR soft with more contrast and sharpening. I really like the richness of the colors in the second................

Re: Which to choose
Hi Chris! To enhance a focal point in the image, I would blend the alter and stained glass windows of the first into the second if you don't go with a rework such as in Steve's suggestion.
If you get a chance to shoot this again, try a lower camera height such as would be seen by a young child rather than an adult. I should give a refreshing new look to the scene.

Re: Which to choose
Perhaps I'm way out in left field with this, but does the perspective matter, if it were me, I straighten up the columns. Then crop just the left side to bring that speaker right to the edge. That will also center up the picture.
I hope you don't mind me giving my example

Not at all Bob. I am grateful for your views.
