Magic Island Night HDR 5/22/09

I once saw on some site an HDR shot of nighttime cityscape that looked like Metropolis in a Batman movie and have wanted to duplicate it. Unfortunately, it is pretty difficult and all my shots turn kinda yellow and not very Metropolis-looking.
I tried the Detail Enhancement process to make it look a little more like a drawing but still no Metropolis.

I like how Kaimuki can be seen in the background. I think these turned out well.

The reflections are soooooo coooooool. What's Detail Enhancement anyway?

Hey Jalna,
Detail Enhancement is one of the options in the HDR software. Somehow it turns the photos into a pencil drawing and I usually to boost the saturation. In night shots, it seems to make the shot more yellow.

Hey, I can see Batman hiding behind the Hawaii Prince. I think the HDRs came out so saturated and cool. I like them. Great job!
