Yes well done, I like effects best when they enhance a picture but don't draw attention to themselves.

Just curious ... with three images one stop apart, you basically have a middle exposure and extend the highlights and shadows by one stop. Couldn't you achieve the same with just two images two stops apart? There would still be a huge overlap in the dynamic range of the two images, even if they were 4 stops apart. I've never done HDR so maybe I'm missing something?

i can try it... this is a subset of the original set which was 9 shots 1EV apart...

Slightly less punchy. Which do you prefer Bob?

If I may, in this case, will prefer the less punchy.
