Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan Bridge

I took this picture some time ago while I was walking across the Manhattan Bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan. The pathway has a huge metal mesh grille which makes it impossible to shoot but the view of the Brooklyn Bridge with downtown as background is nothing but stunning at sunset. I took this shot through an opening where someone had cut the wire mesh and squeezed my camera through tiny space and took three shots which I later combine to capture the light. I would have preferred to use my ND grads but the opening was simply was not big enough.

When I initially combined to form the HDR I didn’t like the result as I thought the picture was too comical to be real. But I was playing with it last week and tried individually processing the three raw files and then combining them to an HDR image an the result was far more realistic and pleasing. Hope you all enjoy it..
