A final look at the old lime kilns at Marsden, South Shields. This view looks south towards the recently restored Hill Hall House (picture to come later)

A five shot HDR made in Photomatix with a further edit in Nik Silver Efex before receiving a few layers of paint and texture.

Nice series Curly. Though I prefer the treatment of the two previous shots. The sky here is rather distracting and the textures of the building not so well defined here.

The light and processing add to the 'fortress' feel of these kilns, Curly. A good closing image.

The tones are awesome! As if we're in the midst of a great battle! Smoke, bombs, fire, etc. and our building crashing around us.
