New HDR Efex Pro from NIK

Just downloaded the recently released NIK HDR Efex Pro, and I was wondering what you can get out of a single (instead of the usual 3 shots bracketed) image. So a clicked on a image and "went to town" on it.. trying different looks...

This software allows B&W and many different looks with just ONE image, which makes creativity a bit simpler. Of course, bracketing the images in RAW and then running them through the software will give better results.

Here's a comparison with NIK HDR Efex Pro (#1) and Photomatix (#2) with the same RAW files. The sky in #2 was colorized with blue in LR3.
