Did you use HDR or is it single processing?
I used all 3 in HDR efex pro, then I did some more adjusting in Color FX.
Are you stalking Long Tall Sally? I'm gonna tell Aunt Mary about uncle Eyelight!
I was wondering the same thing about you.
I didn't try but isn't it easier to merge her if you roughly cut/copy/paste and then change the blending mode in PS? I usually do that and then erase what distracts.
She sure is all legs.
I just roughly did a cut and paste here:
Then changed the layer blending to darken. 5 seconds of work.
All it now needs is some fine-tuning with the eraser set at a % of opacity. Evidently when I bring her closer into frame, I should have scaled her proportionally. Too early a morning to not be lazy.
This is a very quick method to merge but the layer blending that works best depends upon the shot.

The mergy I was speaking of was the exposures. The gal was a placement from another file. She arrived a little short, so I increased her overall size. In the run over from the other image she evidently trimmed up a bit. (Actually, I may have grabbed the top center resize handle instead of a top corner.)
I suspect I know less than 1% of what can be done, but I enjoy learning the next point.
I must confess This was not done with HDR.
Here is a +2 and a-2 EV file. No 0 EV this time. I have one, but you can't have it! LOL

Not my style, but I felt like going crazy. Merged the 2 exposures in PS, then used the preset Scott5. Did selective sharpening, leaving out the sky.
Re imported it back to light room, where I cropped it and did some straightening, plus a few other things.
