This was originally a 32 bit image made with PS CS2's HDR feature. It's a combination of 4 exposures. I did some local contrast adjustment after converting to 16 bit then to 8 bit for the web. Enjoy!

Another stunning image Mahesh. As soon as I saw this image, I could tell that you used either multiple exposueres or a ND filter to capture this, do to the dynamic range that you have. I think you did a great job with it, and it looks wonderful! What exactly is CS2's HDR feature? With results that look like this, it is definetly something that I will be trying in the future. Nice work!

Thanks, everyone! The web site where this image hosted is having some technical difficulties. That's why you are not seeing the image currently. Hang in there.

Michael, follow Penny's link for info about HDR images...they really are fantastic!
