Went down to the Thames Barrier a few weeks ago, wanted to try some neutral density shots but had a few technical difficulties. So I did some bracketed shots of the Barrier from a multitude of angles, and settled on this one. I intended to do some HDR processing (using Luminance), but wasn't happy with the results, I lost all the detail on the barrier. So I tried blending 2 exposures using GIMP, I preferred the silky water on the longer exposure, and the highlights of the barrier. My first attempt at blending.
