Congratulations James!
This is a blend of two exposures using luminosity masks. I'm just learning how to use them so it takes longer for me to process images right now compared to using Photomatix, but I am enjoying learning the new method as it has really opened my eyes up to the never ending masking possibilities. Big thanks to Morkel for introducing me to this technique!
