Hi All,
I've been working on bettering my landscape shots with different techniques, after a lot of working out between HDR and Exposure fusion, I came to the conclusion that i would find a method that works for me.
This is done using a technique that works on both the Luminosity masks and Manual Exposure fusion of images. The entire process takes between 3 - 5 Mins to complete ( on a well spec'd machine ).
I'd love your opinions on the final product attached.

Did you really need to use multiple exposures for this scene? At first sight, it does not seem to have too much contrast for a single shot. And a humble comment about the final result: the top-left part of the sky looks artificially darker than the lower-right part; something similar also happens on the grass, there are zones lighter than others.
Just my two cents.

Hi Edu,
Thanks for the up's on the light & dark areas, I'll pay more attention to it.
I have attached the image I began with as a starting point for you to understand what work has been done.
I hadn't taken multiple exposures for the image, the final shot was a product from one photograph. I believe my phrasing was incorrect on the post.
Using the single image, I was able to produce three different exposures which I manually fused using Photoshop.
I then applied luminosity masks to it and gave it a subtle punch.
( really like your work btw. )
I was quite excited about getting this form of a result from a single image and thought I'd share and get opinions.

I'm curious to see the starting point you mention, and I'm curious to see it... did you attach it? Thanks.

I'm sorry but that image is not working! It looks like you had to really push things in your development phase. I'd start over.
