This HDR (High Dynamic Range) tonal mapping is quite interesting.
I like the intensity these images seem to evoke. I'm not sure how
to use it and thus the reason I am using only the trial version of
Photomatix. My intent is to work with it a bit and see what it brings.
I tried it on two shots about six months ago and dropped it. Today I
downloaded the new trial and thought I would give the software another shot.

I just noticed the dust spot. Sorry.
