Very interesting how you blended the two together.
So was the original the shot out of the series that was most correct in exposure?
And in photoshop, did you blend the two by creating two layers and erasing what you wanted out of each one?
Great shot(s) by the way.

Yes, I put in the original RAW file. It seemed a tad dark so I created an HDR file.
This HDR had more dynamic range, but too much. This is why I blended the two. I blended them by placing the HDR on top of the original and reduced the opacity to get a cleaner look.
Thank you for your interest.

I might have temporarily conquered my fear of heights for this. What beauty in the Hawaiian islands. Great shot, lucky you.
