[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 509419, member: 6277"] Okay you guys. You aren't playing the game very well so I will just tell you what I did. First the shot was a 5 shot Bracket with 1 stop difference in each shot. All were merged with Lightroom. Once merged I ran them through DxO Optics Pro and enhanced them some. Next I put it into Photoshop to remove a number of cars that were on the road in the background. there were also a coupe of signs that needed to be removed. I used the content aware brush to do all that. Then back to light room. Used Nik's Viveza and its control points to adjust the sky colors. A little darker and with just a tad more saturation. Also used it on the water to get more structure and saturation. then it was off to the latest piece of software I am playing with which is Piccure + to just polish it up and give it a little more sharpness. This just was a exercise to see what would happen if it used everything I had on the same photo. I was actually pretty pleased at the way it came out. here is the center shot of the bracketing straight out of the camera.
