Hey Marac! I'm not a big fan of HDR (maybe because I turn out rubbish) but this is just WOW! well worth the blue and, imho one of your better works. and, look at the curves both in the image and voting, I don't think I've seen another image with 5 being the lowest vote though am sure there are some out there?
There has been mention of no people in the shot but I agree with those that prefer people to give life to the image and would like you to visit sometime with tripod (if allowed) and use a longer shutter to get tome motion blur inn the peeps.
I don't click the fav button often but feel compelled to with this shot sir! |

Beautiful work with this lens, Marac. Fascinating photograph! Just saw your comment about taking it without people... my opinion only is that it works so much better WITH people in it. Without them, I suspect it would still be fascinating, but sterile, if that makes sense. I think they'd like this just as it is.

6.5 huh? Hmmmmmm....
What an awesome image. I love the fish-eye. Would be cool to see some of your out-takes; I imagine that you took a bazillion different angles in that place! Congrats on the PB, and the FS Blue!! You can take the rest of the year off now. Please. ;O) |

I am overwhelmed by your comments thank you so much, I am absolutely bowled over and as suggested by  simms I will send this over to the museum and ask if I can re-shoot it when there are no tourists about... well, I might just take 1 person along and plce them in the frame somewhere extremely interesting.
Thanks again for all your kind words and the favs. |

There's always great photos on this site taken by people like you who I can only dream about emulating. But this picture is one of the best I have ever seen. The way you have composed the shot is beautiful. Hogwarts eat your heart out!
A well-deserved 1st place. |

Well done! It reminds me of the lithographs done by one of my favorite artists, M.C. Escher, titled "relativity".
I like the minimal Red, but strong in emphasis. The eye is carried in a circular path, to the first red-nova, then, to the next two red-sweaters, seemingly, strategically placed. Kind of like "Connect the red dots" to arrive at the masses below. |
