Witches' Brew on a Spooky Halloween Soiree

Last October I went to the picturesque town of Carmel on the California to attend the opening reception and artist talk at the exhibition of Bill Owens on Suburbia. On the way home I stopped in Watsonville to photograph a historical Victorian house, the Redman Hirahara Farmstead mansion. The house is on private land, so I took a shot from the street, placing the camera on the roof of my car, as I did not have a tripod with me.

I processed a balanced and a paintery HDR photo from three RAW exposures, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
