Beijing old and new

Number three the pick of the bunch for me. What have you done to the first one?
 
That is my first go at HDR, not sure if I chose the wrong options in Photomatix to get the ghosting of the people. I will probably redo it as I'm not that happy with the colours.

Really like number 3 with the fabulous reflections however the sky and trees do not seem to blend in too well.
 
1 and 3 have bad halo effects, and no. 2 to a lesser degree. Otherwise quite nice effects - ghosting aside.

The last two - no complaints here and good shots.
 
Thanks for the comments. The pic of the Birds Nest was a nightmare. I only had my gorillapod which was almost useless, I had to get down to the floor and there were loads of people around.

I've reduced the HDR-ness of the first pic and managed to get rid of the ghosting. I'm still not happy with the colours so will have to fiddle a bit more.

Hate the first HDR with a passion but love the rest. The edit on the HDR is a hell of a lot better.
