The Shot

 

3 exposure shot (-2, -1, 0, +1 +2) from using my D200 and a Nikon 12-24mm lens positioned on a tripod.

Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.

Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.

Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.

The noise reduced with Noiseware .

Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame and title added.
