A while back I mentioned that I've started to dabble in the world of HDR (High Dynamic Range) and tone mapping (See post "My First HDR"). I'm continuing on that journey and have spent a fair amount of time reading and studying other HDR processed images and wondered why I just couldn't quite get "the look" that I enjoy in some of the other work I've been reviewing. After downloading a 30 day trial of Topaz Adjust, I think I found the answer.
Here are the images start to finish.

| Single image HDR produced with Photomatix Pro |

The additional exposure adjustments in the doors, pillars and stained glass window really sell it for me. I feel another software purchase coming on in about a month :).
