Dude, amazing shot, the colors and textures are gorgeous!

However, I'm wondering how you went about processing the raw file? It seems to remind me of the over-processing done by those that swear by photomatix,but only slightly and have a sort of 'flatness' (for lack of a better word)....which surprises me since in the year Ive been watching you I've never seen such things in your work... what happened here?

Thanks!
Ok you are saying this one looks flat? Well it has been a year since you have started watching me, but this one is about that old,but I don't see it as flat so much. The only thing that I can maybe possibly think of is that this was processed using the old version of Photomatix, which was not nearly advanced as the latest version which went ahead and added a lot more control in processing. What browser are you using?

FF3, and something about some HDR images just looks "flat" for the lack of a better word...maybe thats not the best word but it seems like some of the depth is somehow missing..

or maybe my eyes are shot ha!

Thanks! Well some of the shots like this one for example are done in HDR, which tends to really bring out the atmosphere a lot....and well, I also love to shoot during thunderstorms

Hey thanks! Glad you like it! Nope, didn't change any color in PS, though I will say this, the colors in this sky were changing so fast, I kept having to re-meter and compose.....every 30 seconds something was different
