Looks pretty good rudy. My only suggestion would be to use a smaller diameter eraser around the car next time. You can see the glow from the car especially between the car and the road. I assume you were processing them in layers to achieve desired lighting on dark and light parts. Really love the chemtrails back there

You're right, Steve. That glow around the front and rear bumper bugs me too. I could have fixed that along the way, but didn't.
I use the HDR process to get the overall look and then go back to the original image to fix all the problem areas. I could fix the headlights, the roof of the car, and the bushes on the left. Those bushes, btw, got a weird fringe along the way. When I noticed it I was too far into it to fix it so I did a quick half-assed, touch up job. Too be honest I was just happy with the sky that the rest was an after thought.
Using HDR Pro is different than using Photomatix. I have lots to learn. It's fun though!
Thanks for the critique. They've always helped me with my art, and they'll help me with my photography.
