Nice series Nico. I like this one the best, for the same reasons as petabix. The colour and familiarity of the trees makes a great contrast to almost abstract sculpture. Regards -Najinsky

Thanks for the kind comments... probably a bit too much hdr, but I kind-of liked the surreal feeling it created and thought it suited the subject matter. Regards Nico

Oops...guess I should have read your commentary, where you said you used some HDR processing. --Mary Anne

This looks almost other-worldly, Nico. Did you use a special filter or processing? --Mary Anne

great image, my favourite of the 3. I like the contrasting background of greens against the forbidding sky and amply arc'd monument ---petabix
