Adirondack pond, exposure blending

I've been experimenting with exposure blending to avoid the tonal distortions that HDR often creates. This was a blend of 3 images using Lightroom Enfuse at default settings. It is Cascade Pond, not far from Blue Mtn Lake, NY.

Were they 3 separate shots or one image saved at 3 different exposures? The clouds and ripples in the water are still crisp and for me that usually doesn't happen if I am combining 3 different shots due to the movement between frames.
I like how your turned out.

Thanks. These were three hand-held exposures taken in slow burst mode on my 50D, at 2-stop intervals. If you are lucky and steady enough, the shots will be close enough that LR enfuse can align them. Doesn't always work :-( If you want to compare HDR, I combined the same three shots using HDR pro in CS5. It's here: http://dkoretz.smugmug.com/Other/test-shots/50442HDR2/960908746_c5zpr-XL.jpg. Compare the sky and the middle of the pond. LR Enfuse is much more realistic.
