Reef Tank - Processed w/HDR

[PhotoByMark]

Here is a 215 Reef tank from some friends of mine. This is simply an awesome tank.

I processed image this using Photomatix (HDR) and from 4 shots about 2 stops apart. I have been experimenting with HDR for 3 or 4 months now. Some results I like some not. But this came out ok I think? Full tank shots can be tough cause the intense lighting and shadows so HDR seems like a good fit. Of course, there can be some blur from fish and other things that are moving around. What do you think of this shot? Ignore the watermark as I have not purchased Photomatix yet. LOL.

Mark, this is a fantastic tank. I bet at the larger sizes you could get lost exploring all the detail in the shots.

The color is nice in this shot but I think I'd almost punch it up a bit more. There's a slight haze to it also (common) which could probably be eliminated by an S curve adjusment (also might solve the first thing I mentioned). Might be worth a try.
