Mike you are getting to be a master using that program Sue like the output Excellent tonal transition Got the colors just right and it also has an amazing 3D effect Big Congrats Mike
..... btw did you checked yourself out here :cool: http://www.birdphotographers.net/for...ead.php?t=3330
Excellent HDR work of a super subject Mike. I like how all the diagonals lead you to the center of the image. And its a bonus to have nice clouds in the sky (shame about the contrail though).
One powerful image Michael - I feel that I could walk right into this scene!! Great colour, exposure and sky. What time of day?
I am not familiar with Photomatix Pro - what does it offer?
I am not familiar with Photomax pro either, but whatever you did, it rocks. The leading lines just draw one's eyes into the image. I am not sure why you did not just clone out the contrail, but it is a small nit.

a lot of fun
Great image Michael. I really love all the detail and colors in the photo. I almost expect to see a president's head among the rocks. :) You probably helped sell a couple of copies of Photomatix Pro!
This is one of my favorite places that seems to get very little visitation from photographers. This photo should convince a few more to visit, though. Gorgeous sky and nice, soft light. The two canyon walls on either side create a feeling of depth with the striated walls.
Michael,
Your getting real good with the HDR. This has a wonderful, full tonal range look w/o an HDR feel. I would clone the contrail.
Lovely image. The only thing I would have done differently is to compose the shot so the bottom edge is at the top edge of that bush in the lower right of the image. You're not losing anything vital along the bottom edge of the photo by doing that....and what you're gaining is a bit more of that incredible sky. I would also clone out the contrail....should be fairly simple as its a short one. It truly is a lovely image, though....and you processed it quite nicely!
