Belated thank you Jimmy and tonemapping is an editing technique associated with HDR photography,it basically helps bring out more detail in an image,most notably those shot in RAW format...some background info here [link]

Jonathan,
You clever little *b----r*. Wonderful photo manipulation. What struck me immediately was this tired and broken old sea boat sitting on cracked and broken earth. The shot being in black and white really "punches the message home". Yet for all that I do not find the shot depressing but intriguing.
Thank you for, yet again, sharing your great talent with us lesser mortals.
Simon

Much obliged for the kind words Simon,I had this scene in mind immediately when I saw the boat and fortunately found a stock image right here that was perfect for that vision
