This one was taken about about 15 yards to the right and a minute before yesterday's. Again, it's an HDR constructed with Photomatix Pro using three bracketed exposures.
Let me know what you think of it.

Update: I probably won't be posting any new material until Saturday or Sunday as I've run out of time to shoot anything new or raid the archives. I'm photographing a friends wedding on Friday though, so may get something up on Saturday, but if not I'll try and get something posted over the weekend.

wow...today's and yesterday's are great shots. they almost don't even look real! i love the hdr effect you get on your photos...i will have to work on that myself.

This is interesting. The composition is awesome and I like the 'grunge' look, which is probably a product of the HDR. The colors, however, seem wrong. It makes me think of a butcher shop with blood splattered all over the windows... some sort of evil torture cell or something. Freaky!

Very interesting shot. I can't tell whats on the other side of those doors. I didn't think of anything ominous until I read Chris H's comment, but I can see that. Love the detail in the doors and the colors though.
I just signed up for your tutorials a couple days ago, I'm excited to see what's next!

Waaah a calendar!!! That'll have to make up for not having a coffe table book yet. ;) Will have to order one as soon as my dad lets me. ^^; As for the photo...I love the colours and the cropping, well done.

Today's and yesterday's image both look like paintings and I think the colours in both are great. Yesterday's picture immediately tells a story whereby today's image wants you to zoom up close to decipher the little messages on the doors and once you get closer, you realize that there is a lot more to this photograph than meets the eye. Also LOVE the tractor on the beach (looks like one of Matt Doyle's shots) and if it
made you tick I think four hours was worth it - beats sitting infront of the box ;-)

I. Love. This.
Sorry I can't be more helpful with my critiques, but hey, when I like something I like something.

A devastatingly unforgettable piece of imagery.

Genius in the simplist form. If you saw this prior to taking the shot, its genius. If you didn't its a fantastic after thought, and still genius. I would probably have just walked on by those doors!. The post production leaves me with a definate taste of Chromasia, and is recognisable amongst a thousand images, well done Dave.....

This looks more like graphic art than photography. I guess I would have liked it more with the wall visible too.

Urban, grungy splendiferousness - I like!
comment byJay at 02:40 PM (GMT) on 20 December, 2007
Very nice! I love the grungy feel to this photo.
comment by Sharla at 04:30 PM (GMT) on 20 December, 2007
Yesterday's didn't feel right because the merging perspective lines were blocked. Today's feels totally different. I like the feel of regularity—its even division of space—and the reduction of perspective to a flat artist's canvas. The windows look more like a photographic composition. It's that composite effect that I find most interesting. What should be disappearing baseboards are just artistic elements and it really helps that the corners are absolutely square.

Strange image, at first. But the better you look... very nice.
comment byDylan Tucker at 09:50 PM (GMT) on 20 December, 2007
Very Interesting shot. I really like it.

This has to be one of my favourite images on your site. It has a great fine-art style to it...as always the post-processing is top-notch
comment byRob at 04:22 AM (GMT) on 21 December, 2007
I love this one.
comment byblabto at 03:34 PM (GMT) on 21 December, 2007
Excellent capture. Not only the content but the completeness..... those doors just fit perfectly. Good work
comment byMike at 10:06 PM (GMT) on 21 December, 2007
Well that's different! Thought I was looking at graphic work for a second. Nice job. I like to see HDR used in atypical ways :)

Stunning - I think I need to put PhotoMatix on my wish list so I can start producing some awesome HDRs.
