Backyard HDR

I didn't feel like going out tonight, its my last wee at work and I'm carrying a bit of a cold today. I decided to do bracketing etc in my back yard.

If I'm honest the results of HDR Merge on CS5 left me a little cold, so instead I used Nik Colour Efex Pro on the garden itself, upped the detail and then copied it (witha feathered edge of 90) and pasted over the previous HDR merge to liven it up a bit. The sky is as shot.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll do something a little more worthwhile.
