You did good on the 2nd one, Just look at the door compared to the first. This is what you want. The 3rd one is starting to look cartoonish.

I agree with you, the darker clouds was really a step to far.

They were made from a single image, all adjustments were accomplished with Elements 10.

In this case I agree number two is the better HDR, not that i think number three is overdone, it is that the window lights in number three do not match the skyline drama, which causes the viewer to question the validity, thereby diminishing the credibility. Great work in any case!

Your point about the windows is valid, tried to leave some of the overlay on the glass, guess not enough, knew I had to cut back on the translucence of the glass.
Appreciate your reply.

I thought one needed multiple images - learning something again.

I opened the shot in Elements 10, made a new layer adjusted the contrast up to 35 and saved that shot. made a new layer using the original, adjusted the contrast down to -35, and saved that shot. I merged the layers and shots using that for my HDR adjustments.
Hope this helps you visualize the process.

I just tried a couple. Works well for me. Not for every picture but certain ones.
Thanks again.
