 I think this is my best HDR image I have done, I don't know why it came out so clean. I think there is something to getting the darkest and lightest exposures dead on so Photomatix doesn't have to push any of the exposures.
Very little editing after tone mapping.

Beautiful photo. This shows HDR without the gimicky look and is a testament to the process. Brilliant capture.

I agree that the exposure spectrum should be done in camera before photo matrix. This came out very nice, and I usually try HDR's in low light, or cloudy settings, and never tried with the sun.
