HDR Shootout #11

[480sparky]

Went out this evening to get something out of my truck, and spotted a mildly-colored sunset. So I snapped of 3 shots before what little color there was faded.

Original image:

EV-2
EV 0
EV +2

Shot handheld, so alignment will be an issue. Metadata attached.

Crop, tilt, etc. at will!

Can't wait to see the variances of the sky on this one
