This is the castle in the forest Tillegem bos, near Brugge. It was open to visit it because of some festivities over there. Inside there are offices and lots of meeting room used by people working for the government. The castle is very nice to see. It i surrounded by water.
Yesterdays image shows one of the objects hanging in that castle.
TECH-INFO: I exposed just to avoid clipping in the highlights. So one RAW image is used to develop multiple exposure which were fed to Photomatrix. Afterwards some very slight play with the curves in DxO Optics Pro. The result has contrasts which (almost) equals what I saw with my own eyes.
The combination of the two programs gives me very pleasing results. I wonder if I ever should use Lightroom. Any thoughts?

Great. This time the HDR processing is hardly recognizable. Have to take a look at DxO finally
LightningPaul: Thanks!
Try DxO before you buy. It has several advantages and disadvantages. Good things are:
- excellent lens corrections (but only for a limited set)
- very good perspective correction tools
- DxO Lighting is superb
- good noise reduction
- DxO Filmpack optionally available
Bad stuff:
- Nikon RAW conversion for portraits sucks (skin tones are not correct)
- version 5 does not work in VMWare (but 4.5 does which I currently use)
