Not too bad.. it's kind of noisy and the building is blown out, did you use photoshop, or another program? How many exposures did you use?

i take that back, the building isn't too bad according to my desktop. Of course neither of my monitors is calibrated so I don't know which one is more accurate, lol.

Photomatix

Downlown and learn to use tone mapping. You will get much better HDR pics.

I have Photomatix Pro. Explain on what ways I could improve the tone mapping? Im a total noob at it but ive been reading some really good tutorials on HDRs.

hmm

There really is no clear cut way to make HDR as every pic is different. The biggest problem with your pic is that it looks too much like an other pic. It needs more contrast. For day time shots I think you need to make it more extreme while night shots you can make them look more normal as they can show much more detail and light then your normal night shot.

Well it's better than anything I'll do seeing as I don't even know what HDR is :)

To get the absolute best HDR images you need to take a couple of pictures throughout the day using a tripod I'm trying to find one a friend of mine did that looks absolutely gorgeous I'll post when I find it.

Yeah you take 3 pics with a tripod with different exposures.

The house definitely is getting washed out. Rest of it looks fine (except the green, and the Taurus) LoL, but yeah, it's a bit washed out.

It's kind of weird. The roof isn't, but the side looks like it is. Maybe it's not? I don't know. I'm not a photographer. I just like TVs and stuff.
