Sunset over Norwich in HDR

Sunset didnt turn out as great as I had hoped last night, but managed to capture this one. Its an HDR made up of 8 images. C+C welcome.

First thing I noticed, is that it's seriously on the wonk....I've been up there many times, and Norwich doesn't lean like that!!

Otherwise, it's way over cooked for my tastes.....I like HDR's where you can't really tell it's been applied, this stands out like a black eye on an albino!!

My advice, would be to back to the start and try processing it again.....this time, go a little easier with the sliders!!

I quite like this actually, as Slimbert says though it does need a straighten.

Thanks for the comments.

You'll notice i've changed the image. I checked it as soon as I posted it, and realised the horizon was way out. Should have been the first thing I did, but for some reason I left it till last then forgot. Its now straight, and looks much better as a result.

Re your HDR point - they really are Marmite. Some will like that its 'overdone' some will hate it. Thats just the way it goes. I personally dont think it's way out there, considering what could have been done, but I respect your point and opinion. I plan on having another play, using some of the different shots I took to see if I can tone it down some.
