**Tonight I get to travel to Austin, Texas, to see Marc Broussard sing at a concert. Red got me backstage passes and so I get to meet the guy in person. We also are traveling to New Orleans this weekend to see him again in concert. I can't wait!

This is an HDR image of a mausoleum at a cemetery near Tricia Treen. I loved all the stone fences in the area and with the fall leaves the scene was so pretty to me, even though the subject matter is final and somewhat depressing.
I combined three images, from RAW to TIFF, processed three different levels in my HDR program. Added saturation and cropped.
Have a great day!
Linda

Hi Linda

It's a very impressive HDR image.
The stones are very real and natural, as I would like to touch them. The lives give a special mood to whole image. Very good result.

Great work.

Hello Linda,

A lovely autumn scene.
I like the diagonal composition of the textured wall which creates a pleasing f/g triangle of fallen leaves.
Lots of m/g interest from the mausoleum doorway embedded in the hilside, with the autumnal trees making a statement in the b/g.

Have a great evening,
Bev :-)

Hi Linda,

I thought you said you hadn't quite got the hang of HDR, this is very well done, very natural but still with all the detail of hdr, nice one!

Douglas

I do like how you handle HDR, Linda, without overcooking the impression way beyond realistic possibilities. The clarity and color quality have beautiful depth and richness. (Note to self: stop putting off getting the 24-105 lens!) Nice work!

Very nice photos , so nice details and colors,
regards Zoran

Hi Linda,
Great shot of the mausoleum, the autumn colours show these places off brilliantly. Great detail in the wall and the overall PoV and colours are brilliant. TFS

Hi Linda,
your PC-work is always amazing and with good results. I even don't understand what you were doing - combined with TIFF - but it works very well ;-)
Have much fun this night - enjoy the concert - and make some shots.
Bye

Hi Linda,

This is a nicely composed image with great colors and good sharpness. I don't see any defect due to some HDR processing (especially my tries) ;-). Great job !

Pascal-Eric

wonderful colors, exposure, sharpness, hope all is well, my music, work and family have taken over...for now.......but i will be back.......scott

You do SUCH a good job with these.
This has such a lovely and natural look to it. Beautiful fall color, fabulous detail and I love the diagonal line through the shot. I like the contrast in the stone fence and the straight lines of the crypt. Wonderful autumn shot! Many thanks and warmest wishes,
Shelly

Linda,

The diagonal composition using the stone fence led to a well balanced composition . Fall colors are really nice.

Enjoy the concerts.
Cheers,
Wellington

Hi Linda

The diagonal wall adds superb dynamism & lead in lines. Excellent sharpness, color & textural details. Have a good weekend!

The autumnal leaves and colors decorated this well arranged wet stones, very beautiful composition indeed, bravo

Hi Linda:)
Very interesting place it is.
It reminds me some cemeteries in Europe.
That wet weather add to your nice work some good effect of shining stones - great work my friend.
Greetings - Tom:)

Hi Linda...nice shot...excellent tones and details.
