Michael's 40/365

My first attempt at 'faking' HDR Photography in PSE 9. I'd like to progress to doing it for real, but that costs money. So I shall experiment with creating the effect with layers and filters.

(Added) I downloaded a trial version of Photomatix, a software program for HDR processing, and this is the result of the above photo.

I just went with the default settings. So I'm sure I could get a better result if I played around a bit. But it's dinner time.
