Just been out and shot these - I have tried before but never had a tripod and now I do.

I think I have the HDR nailed and down to what I want it to look like, but what kind of workflow should I do next?

Is it possible to get a great looking photo just using photoshop cs5? I have no idea with lightroom and camera raw.

I need a kind of list and even base settings for the next step.

Sharpening, Levels, Curves, Noise Reduction, Dodge and Burn.

I have limited and basic knowledge of some of these.

I think I can do levels, dodge and burning but correct sharpening and curves?

Enough of my blag, I need a workflow for photoshop after HDR in Photomatix

Pictures didn't show but I have only used photoshop, although I have used it for years I think it gives some good results.

Practice practice practice, its not that hard, find what you are comfortable with doing with your pictures, explore the effects and have some fun. I have used CS4 on these......

I recommend you head over to stuck in customs and read Trey Ratcliff's tutorial (external link)

regardless of what you think of his style it's a really good starting off point.
