i like how it's kind of subtle B&W in the background and very vibrant in the foreground, nice shot

I have been playing a bit more with CS5 HDR
Few observation I made:
The remove ghost (moving objects in the scene) is nice but tricky tool
It does help you get ride of moving objects in the scene but at the s/w discretion. I had 2 trucks in a landscape both moving in opposite direction one ghost was completely gone the second ghosting was not removed.
Ghosting can also impact the way the sky render – do pay attention to it
You can decide which exposure is the anchor (by dragging the green square around the exposure) but you can not pick specific objects (may be I am asking for too much)
It seems that the noise also increases depending on the exposure you choose for anchor
Still learning CS5 so take what I say with a spoon of salt but i was hoping for more at this stage where HDR is an established feature they could have done alot more
