like the effect with the lighting

Nice Shot Author, You can tell its HDR which IMHO is not a bad thing at all. Some shots just lend themselves to it. This is one of them. (Just one point regarding composition and not a big one). If you had moved to the left just a tad and left in the green truck, I feel that it may have had a bit more impact. I do like this shot though! Voted.

I did this shot when I was first experimenting with HDR. HDR is one of the those "sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I don't know the reason why" things for me. With the advent of more advanced software it has gotten a little better. But still sometimes I frame the shot..take the images then process and most of the time it's still a grab bag of results. All I can do is keep shooting though!
