Without any warning it started to snow. All I could think of was warm tropical sun. Warm tropical sun - not show. Close to where i live, lays a Tropical Sun "shop".

Tropical sun motto is: "Golden brown, all year long" and i guess that the Tropical Sun sign clearly shows this. This evening the light was just right, it gave the tropical sun sign a golden (tropical sun) tan and also the snow adds a nice flavor to the tropical sun sign.

Very Nice! I love the dimmed tones...
Made one myself, a little more dramatic on the same evening (?). I will try something like this soon.

Stunning, Bo i love your HDR pictures. You have the drive, great contrast but natural, that's the secret of a good HDR. I wrote today in another blog. The best indicator for a good HDR is the thumbnail. Good looking thumbnail = good HDR, i think most time. Sure it gives exceptions. The contrast between the poster an the weather, gorgeous. I look forward to your next picture.

I like how there is snow on the tropic sun. :)

Thanks all :)
Yes Klaus i agree: good looking thumbnail equals a good HDR. Maybe not in photographic design, but in viewable. I always look at my photos in thumbnail to make sure its okay.

Lately i seem to have been making ordinary looking HDR (more old style photo true), but i think i should break out of the normal form for a while. Otherwise its just boring, for me and the viewer.

Also im still writing on the pages for Photomatix, so stay tuned

I love this shot. What a great image that creates an oxymoron effect. Beautifully done, great details too.

superbe atmosphère

Hehe, I guess inside that door would be the only place to get a tan round there for quite some time. But I don't know about tropic, though.
A greate picture. I realy like the golden color among all that snow.

Cool idea to take this shot. The snow is a great contrast to the sign.

Nice photo, I like the lighting.

We all know how important it is to keep a golden tan in the Winter:-) Nicely spotted and your photo is superb.

Yes! You mastered the light here and brought out the humorous contrast. This image would warm anyone up.

She will have goosbumps, but I love the warm light you have in this outstanding nightpicture, just love it, very well spotted and captured.

Fun shot. The irony makes this delightful, but the composition is strong even without it. Love the lines and the light.
