Thank you Domenick
I was lucky to have access to a building overlooking the work. The dust in the sunlight was worth waiting for.

I don't normally like HDR, but I think it works well here because you haven't gone too far overboard.

Nice!

Bravo mate!

Thank you, both. This is now quite an old photo. At the time I was developing my knowledge of HDR techniques, particularly using Photomatix software. This was a single image from which I generated several intermediate versions of different brightness. I then merged them in Photomatix to reduce the very high contrast across the image. It's something I very rarely do now!
