Beautiful, isn't it? An HDR of 3 shots(0,-2,+2). CS2: Levels adjustment, stamp tool to remove an electrical wire, Unsharpen Mask + Smart Sharpen (2.9, 40%). Noise reduction using Noiseware.

Night HDR is kind of freaky - like looking through magic glasses!

This looks more like a painting than a photo. Very nice effect.

I agree with navin harish. Lovely colors

@asiko, Smart Sharpen is a new feature added in the photoshop CS2 version. (basically for photographers).

Apart from the blown out thing on the left, the rest has turned out pretty well. Especially the deep blue sky, cool shot!
