My first Attempt at HDR....

[deuce2367]

What software and processing were employed for your shot?



In my experience, good HDR results involve many software steps and decisisions. The composition and exposures obviously matter too but it seems like this HDR attempt is more about the processing than the shot itself so more information on your software steps might be helpful in providing good C&C.



I like the color tones in the picture.



I like that the HDR effect is more one of ultra-realism vs. the computer-rendered look that many HDR efforts end up taking on. Many of my favorite HDR results manage to look more "real", more 3-D, more like the actual scene looked when the picture(s) were taken and your picture is in that vein, which is a good thing.



Hope this helps,

Thanks Andy. I used Photoshop CS5 and the built in HDR function set to default settings.
