I was goofing around with a shot for a vintage piece of stereo gear for a shop I do work for. Decided to go for a slight surreal hdr. I first started with the native Adobe HDR, and was not happy with the result. I then tried the HDR tool in the Google Nik collection, and the difference was impressive. I had some odd artifacts that I could not suppress with Adobe HDR. They were barely visible at all with the Nik tool.
Nice shot, but cannot tell if this is as shot or post HDR.
I had a Marantz amp like this. Blew it out once, drove over the Marantz and they rebuilt.

Thanks! It's defintely post HDR. I don't care for the extreme psychedelic look that some do.
I just like to use it to squeeze out some additional detail and color depth.
The sign of a good HDR image is you only notice the image not the editing. Nice job on this image. I am a big fan of Nik plugins. Question. Was this a bracketed shot or did you just convert from a single image?

Thanks for the kind words. This was a bracket of three shots.
I like the fact that you didn't go overboard on the hdr pp - many do.
