Changed from Photomatix Essentials to Photomatix Pro alot more happy with the Pro. It gives me more range of color, contrast, and sharpness. Here are a couple of photos that I've done with the Pro. Oldhilker

The foreground of the first image is a little too dark for my taste. I would try working with a gradient filter and bump up the shadows a bit. (IMHO)

Thank you Tara Mar! This is what I'm looking for, I'm new at this HDR and could use some help.

You're welcome. The other option other than using a gradient filter is to use the shadow slider and move it to the right to bring out more detail.

Thank you again! I've played around and lighten it and increased the shadows. I like it alot more than the other. I'm trying to get the natural look, what I see when I'm there.

We keep trying!
