I know I said about a week ago or so that I was going to go ahead and post an image in hdr but I just couldn't get myself to do it yet. I was not at all happy with what I had already messed with.

Once the image posts (as I just uploaded it today) please take a look at it and critique away. I know there are several issues with it and I am going to correct them, I just wanted to go ahead and post it for review. The image needs a little rotation and I can't get rid of the halo effect. I'll probably need some pointers in getting rid of the glow.

Thanks! :)

The image is very nice,but this halo effect.If you find the way to correct this,pleace let me know,because i have the same problem using photomatix.
Do you remember the settings on photomatix?

I know it is the Light smoothing bar. I think I had it set to zero. I prefer that slight overdone look but that halo is annoying. I tried going in and darkening it up in photoshop but it is obviously darkened. A dark halo?? But I guess if I take my time with it and do the painful task of doing it a little at a time it'll look better. I just don't have the patience for it. :p
