The wetlands of Fern Ridge, Oregon just outside Eugene. Original shot taken in May. Manipulated using Photomatrix software. This shot is essentially a blend of several images using different exposures. In the original image, I had to choose between blown out highlights or lost detail shadows to get a decent exposure - as is the case with most sunsets or contrasty scenes. Photomatrix (or any HDR and tone mapping software) essentially allows you to produce a much broader tonal range. This is my second crack at using it.

Although I'm not familiar with the program you mention or what exactly you did, I can say only that it is a beautiful image in the turn out.

A nearly perfect picture in every way. You've given me the incentive to try the free version of Photomatix. The Pro version seems awfully expensive. I have a feeling that you just shot a great photo to begin with.

What a beauty Greg. I love that sky and the reflection on the water is gorgeous! Luckily this just came up for me in the voting booth and I gave it a well deserved 10! Bravo! Vicky

Great software. . I've seen some reading on plug-ins and they mentioned Photomatrix in Photoshop User magazine. It's awesome stuff. I like your composition Greg.

You need to be whipped for loading up my hardrive. This is another keeper. I'm going to have to investigate that software. Can you tell me a little bit about it in a PM when you get time.
Again, this is gorgeous and the lighting is a pure pleasure to behold. Well done.
