First attempt at HDR tone mapping

[rmcheek]

Hey everyone, just looking for some input. I just got CS5 and was messing with the HDR tone mapping. This image was not shot in raw. What do you think?

Hi,
A bit cheeky I know, but I ran your picture through the noise plugin I use on CS5 to reduce the noise in the sky. I did a high pass sharpening on it also. It's a lovely shot although the building sits a little low in the composition for my eye, but this does also give more of that fabulous sky. Oh, I use Imagenomics Noiseware Professional btw. It's a great plug-in.
Regards
Dave
