Have been testing the new Nik HDR Efex Pro this morning. Not bad at all:

Curious if this was the instant effect or after you pushed/pull some sliders ... This one certainly looks quite natural without the plasticky look and feel.

Looks good. It doesn't have that overdone look that so many HDR images do. I love the dramatic sky.

I agree with the others. Looks great. Did it take much tweaking?...maybe a before shot if you have time to post it?....john

Hi Stef, that is just sensational looking.. very nice. That's one of my plans - to investigate HDR.

(by the way, I have left Flickr)

Now this is how HDR should look (IMHO) - not obvious!

Great shot.

Very nice pic and HDR handling!

I have HDR Efex Pro plug-in for Aperture and I have found it very useful tool, which gives you nice results.

Thanks for all you kind comments. Yes I did play around with all the sliders- so this is not right out of the box. Am writing a tutorial about it and I have to say it works very nicely indeed. This "hdr" was made from one single shot. I don't like over-cooked hdr shots, but than this is personal taste. I am evaluating Photomatix against Nik's hdr software at the moment. It definitely wins over Photoshops HDR capabilities.

sorry Stef the sea is great but the sky has lost it for me (don't take this personally you are still a goddess of picture skills)

nice work Stef - I think the black and white helps with this - such a wide dynamic range in colour may not have worked as well?
Interested in your thoughts on that aspect....

A lovely image but I'm not totally convinced with hdr yet even though I've had a dabble maybe it's because I.ve seen so many "overcooked" shots that it's left me cold same as the majority of shots with running water looking like milk it's a personal thing I suppose.
