I wanted to show the possibilities of HDR. The original is on my profile. The original was over-saturated and really dark in places. After running through Photomatix, the picture looks a whole lot better. You can see more details in the background and the skin tones are a lot better. This was taken with crappy lighting at best. Hope you like. I would be interested in your comments and observations.

Phil it's difficult to get a sharp shot with this lens in this light conditions.

Viewing original confirms my idea, that no one can properly say "this photo has no effect HDR" and that HDR is not an effect, but rather a tool to approach the camera sensor to the human eye.

Thanks for all of the votes and comments. Ricardo has hit it exactly. My intent was not to get a bunch of 10's because it is obviously no worthy of 10's. I wanted to show the value of the HDR process and its benefits to improve pics

Initially, I felt that the whole thing should have been in focus. Then, I realized that the horn and mic are the most important parts and should be the only things in sharp focus. Well done.
