Urban Abstract #5 HDR Variations


This solarized version floated to the top because it is the strongest graphically.  The single image HDR tone mapped image below fed Nik Color Efex Pro for the conversion, then Lightroom 3 supplied the blue/sepia split tone effect.


Nik HDR Efex produced this single image tone maped version.  I think what happened with the color splashing around in the out of focus areas is quite interesting.


Out of curiosity, I tried a color isolate red filter.  It looks a little like a Dexter promo.


The monochrome from Nik Silver Efex Pro is very clean.
