The Niagara River, long used for generation of power on both sides of the border, has several power-generation plants along its' banks. There are hundreds of power lines spanning the gorge.
I find power lines to be ugly, and an eyesore...not to mention almost impossible to photograph. Sharpening tends to lead to jagged lines, and...as evidenced here...any attempt at tonemapping an HDR renders odd, uneven brightness.
Three bracketed exposures, tonemapped in Photomatix. In PS, resize, Neat Image, a layer of Topaz and a layer of Nik EFEX Color tools, both backed off slightly.

Awesome, wd on HM. Great composure and exp. I'm still anti all this processing as I find it too comic-like. It has it's place but it's just OTT for me.
