#854. The Pleasure Pier

Taken this past weekend in Galveston, Texas from a jetty parallel to The Pleasure Pier. This is a composite of five HDR images stitched together using Photoshop's amazing photomerge process. I processed each set of brackets (three shots, one at -2, one at 0, and one at +2) into HDR images using Photomatix Pro first and then joined them together in Photoshop. To be really appreciated it needs to be viewed as a big print but hopefully you can get a feel for it as presented here.
