Very nice photo. I always enjoy your work.

I think you are very correct about HDR being the future of digital imaging. I do HDR very frequently, and 75% of the time it yields photos superior to the original version.

Of course, on my own photos, a lot of time I get complaints from the people viewing them that my photos look "doctored" or "fake." To that I can only retort "Pardon me for wanting to bring my photography into the 21st Century."
