Mission Sunset
I actually took this picture a few years ago. Back then, I used Photomatix Pro to process an HDR image from the three bracketed shots. Today I gave it a try with NIK which is free from Google. I think NIK controls the noise in the shadows better. Lightroom 6 refused to process them as these images were exported from Sigma Photo Pro which, somehow, did not embed certain EXIF data that Lightroom required. I still prefer Lightroom HDR function as you can edit in 32-bit RAW without losing any information in the data.
