    Very nice!!
    If you have a raw file, try and make it into an HDR photo. It might get really amazing!!

    Cheers

    I was not sure!!!
    Now I understand the special look. Fanstic look.
    Did you use one raw for making the HDR or multiple?

    Three RAW files. I sent my Canon 5D to AEB at -2 0 +2. So that's one at normal exposure and one at -2 and then one at +2. I used photomatix with this shot but Photoshop has a nice HDR converter. I also tweaked this some in PS. Thanks for all the kind words about this shot.

    That really came out well. thumb.gif Was the HDR made from multiple exposures, or from a single RAW file? [Edit: Oops! Now I see that you already answered this question in an earlier post.]
