Are you part of the Skylum Photography Facebook Group? Lots of cool pics and a really great community of photographers over there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/macphunphotography

Here's a pic posted to the group page from photographer Roman Johnston.

Pictured: Wachella Falls | About the photo: "I love the HDR software (Aurora) and it is a permanent fixture in my editing. I do what I call Push-Pull editing. Always editing for an effect that is 'over the top' and then using layers in Photoshop reel the over-the-top edit back to get the desired effect that looks natural. One Curve, then into Aurora, then 2 more curves with opacity layers. A few minor passes in a few NIK tools and done. Takes about 15 min to edit a shot that does not need special attention."

This video features a series of images followed by the HDR image generated from them.

Just in case - I deleted the posting for the photo competition. After checking their web site, I decided they do not look very professional or organized; no information, nothing on their site. Apologize for not checking them out before posting.
