My first attempt using a bracket of three exposures, +1.7, on, -1.7 EV. I used Surrealism with a variety of layer masks to oush and pull the colors and textures. Since I have nothing in my background to compare it to, I'm going to need some feedback from you folks that do a lot of HDR.
As you can tell by the output, I am not much into real super exaggeration, but do like the ability to layer up a higher degree of contrast.
