Welcome to the Post Processing Challenge #91.
Thanks to Ash for hosting last week's challenge.
For this challenge I thought I'd try something I think is different. For the last few years I've shot almost exclusively in bracketed sets and do most of my PP as HDR. So I'm giving you a 3 shot +2, 0, -2 EV spread to work with. You can do an HDR if you want, or just use one of the exposures to work your magic.
The shot was taken at the mission San Juan Capistrano in California. It's one of my favorite places to shoot when I get a new camera. This is from my then new K-01. I basically like this shot, but it's lacks something and I could just never get it to work in my usual flow. I'd like to see what everyone else comes up with. Hopefully everyone enjoys it!
This challenge will last until Midnight, March 9, 2013 (US Pacific Time).
The winner of this challenge becomes the host of the next one.

Please note, if you're going to do an HDR, these were shot hand held. If your software is not good at aligning images you probably want to just do a process the 0EV shot. Also, the people in the background move
