View Of The Desert And Phoenix From The Patio---Second Attempt

The previous version of this image was a single exposure posted here:

Although I did not try multiple exposures in the field in order to obtain an HDR given the high contrast in the scene, a mistake
in my opinion, I have generated multiple exposures in Camera Raw, a method suggested to me by Chris Spracklen. The
result using Photomatix is a "synthetic" HDR. You will have to be the judge about whether this method has
adequately tamed the high contrast in the scene. Personally, I think it's a
substantial improvement over the single exposure.

Camelback mountain is straight ahead in the distance. The camel's two humps and head are easily seen.

Nice! HDR really works well here to make the detail pop, and actually adds a bit more depth across the valley, compared to the single exposure.
