I am assuming that this is HDR. It does seem a little overdone and artificial. I like the composition though.

There are some images that this look works for and some that it doesn't. Good pick with this ;-) 7

Really great processing. I love the ghostly shadow that surrounds the entire hand. I think many did not see the beauty in this image. I disagree with the comment by Juli about the halo. I think that is part of why I like the image so much.

Comment by JunieMoon:
So what is Wukong Beta? Sounds interesting. I like the wonderful green of the doors. The entire image, though, seems too much alone for Easter Morning. I am sure there is some significance for singling out such a lone subject for that particular morning. It seems almost sad, to me.

P.S. I think I get it. It shows the change in Easter today vs before. Fewer people are going to church, and the headstones in the background indicate that there are more folks who are now gone that celebrated Easter. A real paradox and social commentary on the state of religion today, even for the highest of holy days, Easter.

Excellent detail in the whites - something I've been "looking" at more these days to see why some shots work, some don't.
