Why have you done a HDR to an image which obviously falls between the
cameras 5-6 stops of dymanic range?
If it exceeds bracket exposures and blend MANUALLY for maximum control.
I can't believe you lot are letting a PC do the processing for you.
You are the photographer YOU do the processing.
HDR is total and utter crap.
