i like 2,3 and 4 lots of visual interest. not really diggin the halos around the buildings but coming from an illustration background i love the feel of those 3
3, 4, and 5 look super HDR. Doesn't look natural by any means, but I like the fantasy look in these shots; especially with the glow around the buildings. I think these shots are going to get equal praise and criticism, which is simply individual tastes.
I never said it was natural just not HDR. The glow is due to high pass filter and and per channel contrast. I actually have a version without the glow.
I'd say the second one is by far the best. This tight space with all this stuff works very well in the frame. And you've got a nice triangle with the man, the fan and the small cabinet. The others don't really catch my eye. Just the glow, but not in a good way unfortunately. Maybe blur the people with a longer exposure to emphasize the crazy neon signs and buildings ? Probably not possible if you don't carry a tripod on your travels.
Great work Jason. More like illustrations than photographs some of them but I like them just the same.
Thanks a lot Geoff. It's the color grading and black point that give it an illustration feel.

There isn't any HDR applied at all. Though the effect is to look hyper real fantastic just like this city is lol.
There is a glow around all of the buildings where they touch the sky. No way that's natural.
