Nice Job. I gave up on photomatix when I got tagged as "Tommy Tone Mapper" To darn many sliders to fiddle with.

Thanks all!

Dead EYe, Yeah, you have to watch, some times you start spending a little to much time on tweaking HDR. I find that some pictures look good in HDR and others start to look crazy and almost cartoon like. I like to try to keep them as normal as possible. THis shot has a different look though since it was a 1.3 second exposure.

Looks good! I like long exposure HDR shots, i really need to get out and experiment with them myself.

Yea every HDR is differant in work flow. At TPF we call a single exposure a Tone Map. Most do 3 exposure 2 stops apart. Some get really good results by taking many exposure aimed to properly expose each and every part of the scene. Most reduce the saturation before merging in photomatix if you want to get away from the cartoony effect and push the contrast. Another trick is to color correct in PS then duplicate layer. Convert that to B&W then drop opacity.

Yeah, I will have to try some of those ideas. THis was one shot, but I did make and under and over exposure from the raw file. Tis gives me the depth.

+1.3, 0, and -2 were what I used in this case.
