I just did not find Photoshop delivered effective HDRs and used the free sample of Photomatix, carefully cloning out "sample" stamps for a while until I had the money to buy it. It gives cracking results and I have done over the top as well as more subtle HDRs.
altern8r - is that a one shot faux hdr - unusual to pick a moving subject like a bee for an hdr and I just cannot see the hdr effect being delivered here.
I`ve no idea how to copy in an image from my gallery onto this strange site now but here is a link to a recent one I did using photomatix.
