Hatteras Light Sunset

Cape Hatteras Lighthouse - Outer Banks of North Carolina.
5DII, Nikkor 14-24mm

Three shot blend for HDR (hand blended). One for the tree, foreground, & lighthouse; one for the sunset; and one for the light in the lighthouse. Taken this past weekend. I had to work this one for a while to get the colors to balance & look natural without the "HDR Look". Please view larger for more detail.

Very nice, Wick! I really enjoyed looking at the large version. Beautiful sky, and those branches look great, and then the Cape Hatteras light too! Very cool looking.
