Vista House, Portland Oregon - a photo on Flickriver

            This is another image form the Vista House taken on our interesting trip to Portland a few weeks ago.  The trick with this shot was getting all the people out of the frame.  I think I mentioned this before, but this is like lovers lane, but crowded.  There was even a person getting engaged up there, but I think it ended up not quite the intimate moment they hoping for, it was more like one of those engagements done on the jumbo-tron at a stadium.  

This is a tripod fired three frame HDR.  Like Eric Gale has said in one of his posts, I am trying to do the HDR's manually in photoshop, I think they look more natural.  Truth is, I just keep trying to get close to the look Bill McIntosh has in his images.  He always captures an elegant look in his processing, the kind that makes him look like its natural, like it just came out of the camera that way.  I struggle with making my images look that elegant.  Having all that said, I am not sure this hits the mark, but I will keep trying.
