With all respect to you, and for your well-composed photo, why do you and the apparent majority of photographers sending their HDR work to this site ignore the "before" of "before and after?" I cannot see how you can expect UHH'ers to evaluate your work "before and after" if you do not send us the "before." I would really appreciate some insight into this omission, from you or others who share or oppose my concerns.
I can't speak for the OP on this one but since I just posted one without the before I can give MHO: it is a pain to resurrect the before.
If there is evidence it helps commenting I might try it in the future regardless. But new to this forum so I'll have to be convinced it improves feedback.

I was given a tip by a decent photographer when your done uploading almost always pick the default preset and do the rest of the work in light room or Photoshop or both then also remember to keep some shadows in your work.
I have only been doing HDR for the past 3 weeks but I have done a lot of reading so I am no expert.

I'm in the newbie boat also but one question that has come to mind on this is, "How much pre-processing should be done before sending the photos to HDR processing?"
One thing I'm pretty sure of is that if you've done the exposures right any preprocessing you do (such as correcting white balance...as this example might need to reduce the blue) you need to do it the same on all multiple exposures. That makes Lightroom my preferred pre-processing option because the synch feature makes that easy.
But maybe that means it is better to do the HDRing first and then process the resulting image for stuff like white balance.
Thoughts?
Warming filter on this case

I was told by a few HDR photographers to never to processing on photos before they are merged you do all that work after in other programs.
