Where we had dinner to night (and the flaming onion in then viewfinder section). Another go with Nik's hdr vs the usual photomatix. Sharpness is no doubt an issue as my long exposure was .5 sec hand held. I did find it interesting how little of a difference there is between the middle exp and the final result.

Nice n8!

Nice blue hour shots. Yeah for a shot like this you'll hardly need an HDR. I'm assuming the 2nd shot is your middle exposure.. .

the hdr might have controlled the highlights a bit, but for this one, if you slightly underexposed it you could've brought out some of the shadows in PP.

very nice.
