    HDR is way, WAY over the top.

    Nice scene! The HDR processing is actually done quite well. You've captured the range without introducing halos which is great. As is very common in HDRs, the dynamic range is overly compressed into the mid-tones leaving the image quite flat which screams HDR. Set a stronger black point and adjust the curves to expand out the tonal range, and this image will pop to the point that people won't care how it was processed. nod.gif I'd be happy to post an example if you like.

    Wonderful sky, but I agree with what's already been said about the HDR making the image look flat. I know some people flatly refuse to embrace HDR, but I think when it's done well it can look fantastic.

    This is something like what I had in mind, Juan Carlos. Two simple adjustments, black point and curves.

    Thank you @kdog. I got the idea.
