Processing variations for Brantôme Abbey

[fuzzyfelt30]

As a follow up to my previous thread here, how do these three versions of Brantôme Abbey sit with people? As before, the original was taken late in the evening, in flat, and quickly fading light!

1. Fairly strong HDR

2. Similar HDR treatment but then blended with a non-HDR shot. I am actually quite happy with the way this one turned out.....personally, I don't think it looks too HDR'd at all!

3. Normal non-HDR shot.....missing that certain 'something', I think!
