My first "successful" hdr with lensbaby where a single image didn't convey the emotion I wanted until I used Photomatix. (thanks @taffy). We went to the Fushimi Inari Grand Shrine in southern Kyoto, which is famous for all the torii gates that create tunnels (see link below). I loved the drama it created. The fox looks rather menacing, don't you think?
Don't forget to add the link to the torii gates...and this one is one of my favorites of yours. I love the processing and the way it brings out all the details in the face of the sculpture, plus conveys a semi-menacing mood.
