Another view of the forgotten house. This one really shows the extent to which the left side was being taken over by the vines and bushes.
Although this is not an HDR composite, it is a composite of three tripod-mounted exposures of the scene. This was done to hold detail in the sky as well as in the dark foliage. I decided to do it manually and not use HDR because there wasn't as much of a need for HDR as in the other shot and I felt it would be easier to paint in the lighter tones where I needed them. In addition to the basic composite of the three source exposures, I've also done quite a bit of other processing to this image in the way of dodging and burning and selective color toning. You can see an unaltered version of one of the source exposures below.
