I'm pretty much a novice at using HDR software and this is certainly the first I've submitted here. I started with three bracketed images, shot handheld, then used NIK HDR efex pro to extend the dynamic range before importing into Photoshop CS5. It worked well to lighten the two areas of rocks which were in shadows, but I have mixed feelings about the sky. Added a NIK SEP pro layer in luminance mode to increase detail in some areas.
