The Window in Big Bend

Never been a fan of HDR but here is my try at it. Hopefully it looks natural.

You avoided a lot of the artifacts that make so many HDR images ugly in my opinion, such as halos, excessive local contrast, uneven color saturation, etc. The only problem is the lack of a black point; the image looks flat and grey without some deeper shadows for the sky to contrast against. Here's a quick levels adjustment to give you an idea what I mean: black slider at 30, midpoint slider at 1.10. (Your profile says editing is OK, but if not let me know and I'll take it down).
