HDR

Been spending some effort creating HDR images.  Here I used Photomatix's tonemapping feature since I only had a single image of the Boyd's Maryland, general store that I took in December 2009.  It was dusk and I wanted to capture the bare light bulb and its reflection onto and in front of the porch, the onset of darkness, and the colors generated by the setting sun.
I try not to get too surreal with HDR. Just get the details in the shadows and highlights, like the human eye would capture.
