I was very new to HDR and didn't really get enough overexposed shots to bring out the rocks in the foreground, but at least I didn't go totally black. I was also new to processing HDR and at that time the early version of Photomatix did some really oversaturated, otherworldly things. So, I started there and added a bit more Vibrance, Saturation and Contrast and this was the result...
