First Try at HDR

[UGD]

Hi, finally I figures out how to get images attached here. There are pics I took during a recent Peru Trip. I am just getting into HDR. Please review and provide any feedback. I wish to get better and am looking for guidance and feedback. TY

Image 2 is my favorite! Nice composition. I like the soft glow that the ruins have in Image 1.

Very nice. Mind posting all the shots you used so we can have a stab at editing them?

The originals are also here. The HDR is done from a single RAW image. For Image 1, the original image is the second pic attached (named Image1-original). I can post the RAW files here if that is what you are asking. Just need to know how...i had a hard time getting these pics attached. TY

These look very good. I have been to MP and your tonemapped image represents it much better then your original

What did you use to process them?

You seem to have a good feel for tonemapping based on these examples. The next step is taking bracketed shots and doing some real HDR. you can pull some more detail in the highlights and shadows off a single file but you can't push the boundaries without taking multiple images

Thank You for your kind comments. I used Photomatix and minor adjustments in Photoshop CS5. BTW....i feel that no picture does justice to the actual MP. It is stunning to sit there and watch that place.
