Photo was taken a while back and never processed until recently. Here is my finished result.

I know there isn't really a way to fix it, but the flat straight beam across the top kind of kills the 2 point perspective for me. I like the overall look of it though

Yeah I can see that being a distraction.

This was done with the D7000 3 shot -2,0,+2. The D7000 has great dynamic range. I now shoot with a D700 which only does 1 stop ev's. What I did with the lights was to mask in some of 0 and -2 back into the photomatix image. This took out the over bright light areas.

Thanks for the answer looks like I need to really learn more about masking to get any better with my shots
