Re: Before and After - HDR from a single RAW image
Although the second shot undoubtedly has more detail in the shadow areas, the result is limited by being from one photo instead of three or more taken at different settings. I actually like the trees in the first shot and the boats in the second. The trees in the second shot have lost some of the wintry feel but you could put these two images together with a layer mask to show the boats, sky and water from the 2nd and the trees from the first. I think the result of that would be a really lovely picture.
I should just emphasise, I think you have done a really good job here and got it about as good as you could from a single image so I am not criticising your efforts at all. Using more photos taken at the same time definitely gives a big advantage but well done in what you achieved with just one :o)
Cheers,
Rob
